My Review
This is the first book I’ve read by Tracy Buchanan but certainly won’t
be the last. I found this book had just the right amount of intrigue to keep me
wanting to turn the pages.
The book is centred around Amber who runs a quaint gift shop on the
seafront form those wonderful huts you see in some seaside towns, and a
mysterious girl who Amber, her mum and Aunt found one morning with no coat on
and shoeless walking along the beach unsure where she is or even who she is.
The story is told in alternating chapters which also is two different
timelines, one being 1989 and one in 2009.
The story follows the mystery of who the girl is and the lengths that
Amber goes to, to help her.
All in all, a really interesting story and a book that I found had an
ending that to me was perfect!
I read this book courtesy of a copy provided by NetGalley and Avon
books and my review is my honest opinion.
