The story flows seamlessly through past and present times, building on the characters experience and story each time. Whenever I had a question about how a character had got to that particular point in their lives it was answered by the narrative of the past…knowing the characters past gave a real insight into the present storyline.
I did find the ending a little bit of a let down, I felt like I wanted more…but maybe that’s what makes a good book? It leaves you wanting more!
I will definitely be reading more by TJR.
