CUSTOMER REVIEWS

31 Aug, 2021
A strong sense of time and place and characters who are relatable and flawed. This author never disappoints with strong plots, but also an empathy for human weakness, alongside a recognition of the harm ordinary people can inflict on each other. An excellent and ultimately moving read.
