It was a little too full of hard to believe plot lines to really earn 4 stars, but nonetheless I did appreciate the way the author developed the characters. Over 12 CDs of listening while I ran a lot of kilometres at night, I really felt that I got to know the characters at a satisfying depth. The story seemed to dwell on childhood years for so long I wondered whether this was really meant to be a 'Young Adult' book. However, by the end I could appreciate the value of all that build-up.

Without even noticing, 34-year-old Esther Fairchild has become a prisoner of routine. Living with her adored brother, Christian, she divides her time between illustrating children's books, nightly shifts as a waitress, weekly visits to her father and fortnightly meetings with her married lover. Then one day she encounters a face in the crowd, which jolts her out of her mundane existence and makes her question both her life and the past that has helped to shape it. Memories she had long chosen to forget begin to resurface. Memories of an eccentric childhood in a large and shabby house, where the children were very much left to fend for themselves within the loose boundaries of their parents' unorthodox values. A chaotic existence peopled by a rich collection of feckless 'guests'. And into this shambolic world came Donovan - regularly deposited by his unreliable mother - and Penny, Christian's girlfriend and Esther's idol and mentor. Until tragedy struck and shattered all their lives. Now, it seems, their lives are about to become intertwined once more . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
