Stunning! I started reading this last night and I couldn't stop. It was one of those compulsive books that take you over, so you think, just one more chapter and then before you know it, dawn is streaking the edges of night and the book is over, the story finished and yet only just beginning for the characters. You want more, you are bereft. You want to start the book again, to savour the beauty of the prose, to inhabit the minds of the characters again. This is an incredible, beautiful story of loss, love, forgiveness, moving on, overcoming, grief, redemption and above all, hope. The writing is amazing, each sentence perfection. I loved this author's debut, the story stayed with me long after the book was over and this one, wow! Absolutely amazing! This is an author to watch - she is brilliant. I cannot wait for more.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and independent review.
This book just blew me away and was an incredibly emotional read. The way Anna Maxwell writes about such emotive issues (grief, love, loss and family secrets) was so heartfelt and passionate. The characters were excellently portrayed and I almost felt like I knew them personally.
Highly recommended.
