Christy Lefteri has a stunning way with words that pulls you into the very heart of the characters, showing you the world through their eyes and binding you to their thoughts and emotions.
Her poetic descriptions of the scenery and setting of her stories at once paints a detailed picture in your mind whilst placing both of your feet firmly in the story.
With a gentle introduction, The Book of Fire wasted no time in then throwing the reader into the depths of the emotional turmoil of its protagonists. I could feel the heat, taste the smoke and hear the fear of the people running for their lives from the fire that gives the book its name. I barely paused for breath reading the final 5 pages of my extract and audibly groaned when I ran out of pages! This is going straight to the top of my wish list. Christy Lefteri, I have a strong hunch that you have done it again!
