Instantly, I’m drawn to the shadowy outline of two people holding hands. They appear to be standing still, with their postures echoing a sense of loss or desperate hope.

The initial synopsis of ‘The Last Paper Crane’ implies a harrowing story of difficult decisions a man has to make, to save a child and their younger sibling.

Set during a time of bombings, loss and panic, this would not be my usual ‘go-to’ book, however, I’m intrigued to read this novel by the closing statement on the book cover ‘... a promise that haunts one.’
