Chosen because
Unusual and persuasive introduction from the publisher’s editor, backed up by good review bites and a COSTA prize short listing.
The Review
This is a book with a strong narrative hook. We know something dramatic happened but it takes a while to uncover what and a bit longer to uncover why. Even then the question remains how will it all end? Importantly, by then we actually care.
The story unfolds with alternating contributions from the two strong lead female characters. Although from widely different cultures their relationship and mutual support develops almost into dependence and takes us through dramatic events towards their unknown destiny
It’s a good read for the story alone but also includes challenges to preconceptions, insights into unimaginable situations, and possibly (but I may not have quite grasped this) a plea for global peace and harmony.
Read another?
Will definitely look out for “Incendiary”
