A really nostalgic emotional story which I found really gripping. I resonated with the characters which helped bring the emotions to life.

the cover of this book immediately bought me to it and even then i hadn't looked into it properly. as i looked on ,just like this story, the full cover and ingredients of it revealed itself to me. and it truly took in my feelings surrounding the book and the story.
this book was so deep into human emotions and caught me by surprise with how much i ended up caring for all hose involved. and it lended me to many a time googling of the issues that presented itself throughout. Isabel was such a courageous young woman and watching her determination to find out what happened to her mother felt at times daunting but always filled with strength. her mother vanished during the dictatorship in Argentina. its something that never leaves either daughter or father. but her father is unsure of what happened. years later Isabel drops everything to pursue the answers. she quits her job in London and travels across to Buenos Aires to search for her mother. its there she meets with a detective to help her on her task. but its their shared connection which might bring more answers both in heart and future than Isabel though possible going in to this journey. they both have their demons, losses and weights on their shoulders. but there blooming feelings for each others is the balm that a thankless task and search needs. there is more to come for Isabel and some extremely hard things to face. can love give her the hand hold and heart hold she needs to face what is brought to her door.
this book is such a powerful and important book. the under layers i felt throughout, the things that weren't said but i felt. the things that were said and i felt. its a brilliant book with a compassionate telling.
