Thank you so much to ReadersFirst for the copy in return for an honest review.
What a fascinating read! I absolutely adore Historical Fiction and Magical Realism and this book is the perfect balance of the two.
This was an emotional and compelling story, which was written with so much heart. I have never read any books from Ruth Hogan before, but I really enjoyed her writing which is both beautiful and hugely readable. I will definitely be looking at reading more from this author, and I'll be keeping a keen eye on what she writes next!
The characters here are fun and quirky, and fully fleshed out, as is the setting. I have had the pleasure of visiting Brighton on occasion, and the atmosphere is perfectly realised here. If you are looking for a character driven story with an excellent sense of place then this is the one!
I can happily recommend this one; a story of family and friendship not to be missed!
