One of the reviews for the book
What an amazing debut novel!! It is rare that I find myself reading a novel this captivating. I loved all the twists and turns, almost at the end of every chapter; the story is just so good!
The relationships between the various and many characters are interwoven beautifully and I was always left wanting to know what was going to happen to them next. Descriptions throughout were profound; I felt as if I was there taking part in the story. At the same time, no words were wasted; the writing was concise and relevant. I can’t believe that Kathy has not written before! I am very much looking forward to her next novel due out, I believe, in the summer of 2023.
