This is the kind of book that creeps up on you, you can’t put it down before one more page, one more chapter… what is Rosalie going to do next? Sometimes you feel empathy, sometimes annoyance, occasionally horror but you cannot look away.

Walking a coastal path goes wrong and Roly finds herself trapped. But it’s ok, she’ll be fine… but time goes on… she passes time thinking about her dead son and how little we actually know and understand people. She has a husband who loves her but cannot understand her grief ~ and especially cannot understand the ways she chooses to honour their son.

It’s beautiful, it’s haunting, and it really makes you think about family, and love, and what matters in life. It’s a book I’ll think on long after I’ve closed it.

I was given a copy of the book by NetGalley

A beautiful book. Tender, twisting and turning. Life seen through the eyes of a mother haunted. So beautifully written and full of surprises. Thank you so much to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.
