Its was one of those books that you cant put down. I dont want to give the plot away but you will not be disappointed reading this book. I've passed it around to many friends and family, the book is now very 'battered looking' but everyone over lent it to has agreed with me. Fantastic read literally could not recommend it more! The layout and way of writing is very clever. Keeping you gripped constantly! I'm a big book fan and I finished this is 19 hours. Addicted! Why did herself and flora fall out? Why do hee children not look any older? You find yourself asking more questions as you go through the book bit each question gets answered in turn! Must have book! Great for a cold winter weekend snuggled up with a cuppa and a blanket!
