Imagine Living by Deborah Morgan, Deborah Morgan
4.5
Imagine Living transports you to 1980s Liverpool, where sixteen-year-old Robyn is happily living with her nan May and working her first job at a bakery earning a small but welcome wage. When May after an operation returns home and suddenly passes away and Robyn's young life is altered forever.
However, Robyn proves to be a resilient young woman, even though she finds herself alone, grieving her nan and homeless after refusing to live with her mother in Scotland.
And as the story unfolds author Debroah Morgan takes you on an emotional journey, full of highs and lows. As Robyn tries to make sense of her new reality. Whilst searching for her father and a new place to call home and through it all she meets a wide variety of characters. Some of whom are willing to offer help and support whilst others just want to take advantage and sadly they do. But somehow Robyn manages to remain remarkably strong.
And it's all set against a backdrop of Blondie, Levi jeans and Thatchers Britain.
And it was a really engaging and uplifting story. That easily kept me reading even though it's not my usual genre and I'd happily recommend Imagine Living to others. And am genuinely intrigued to see what happens to Robyn next.
My thanks to author Debroah Morgan, who kindly provided me with a free copy of Imagine Living. 😊
