I read this novel over two nights and found it very easy going. The story of a disfunctional family, an alternative lifestyle, and their problems was nicely presented, whilst covering the topic of domestic abuse is always a tear jerker.
I read this novel over two nights and found it very easy going. The story of a disfunctional family, an alternative lifestyle, and their problems was nicely presented, whilst covering the topic of domestic abuse is always a tear jerker. Anne pitched it just right on this front with Danielle and her mother both victims of this, Danielle eager to escape, her mum putting up with the abuse in order to protect her daughter but also because she still cares for her husband, a trait often seen in women in these situations. Altogether a nice read made more interesting by the references to the pottery business.
