Definitely recommended as a great new release from one of my favourite authors.
Haven’t They Grown is an intriguing, twisty novel that kept me guessing and presents a seemingly impossible conundrum – how can two children not have grown any older, despite being last seen at the exact age they still appear to be now? Main character and the family’s ex-family friend, Beth, sets out to investigate…
I really liked the characters within this novel, from Beth and her husband to their sparky, confident daughter Zannah – she’s a really likable, engaging character who I’d happily have read more about, and her and mum Beth make a great duo.
I spent a lot of the novel trying to work out the ‘answer’ without any luck at all, and thoroughly enjoyed being surprised!
I think you need to suspend your disbelief a little at times but it didn’t hamper my enjoyment at all; the great writing and tight plot results in a complex and interesting story that I didn’t want to put down.
