The news that every parent, family and even friends and neighbours dread to hear is that there was a really bad car accident, resulting in a car ( a blue Seat Leon) crashing into a brick wall in the middle of the night. The car was carrying teenagers who had been to a party and the plight of the passengers was not a good one according to a neighbour who lived just across the road from the crash scene. Here starts a devastating time for the parents and siblings as they all come to deal with the situation. It is also a very moving and emotional journey for everyone involved in this very difficult time, the time after the accident, the time when friendships and relationships would never be the same again. When decisions have to be made, however hard they are. When neighbours can no longer be friendly towards each other and they end up accusing each other, families bickering amongst themselves and their neighbours, this book covers all these subjects, and what happens in the face of such tragedy when devastation turns to a gift to a complete stranger.
This is the third book by Caroline Bond and I have read and enjoyed them all, full of intriguing moments, family stories and sad times, that pull at your heart strings as you read. This book certainly is intriguing to read and covers many a thought provoking subject.
