"A short Novella, jam packed with emotion "
Synopsis
Three guys in their thirties have something in common. Their children all go to the same school.
One day a tragic event leads to them having to deal with a lurking aftermath which draws them into each other's lives and causes them to rethink their attitudes to just about everything.
The children tell the second part of this story, ten years after the initial events.
The dust seems to have settled until one of them uncovers information that throws everything back into chaos.
The third part… well that will have to wait.
My Review
This is a short Novella but it packs a HUGE punch, at just over 100 pages this read was a quickly read little gem.
Broken in to 3 parts, The fathers, the sons and Anxious ghost, each chapter is told by a different character over a span of around 10 years, with a time jump from part 1 to 2.
This story shows how one tragic event can affect numerous lives over many years, from the intense grief from the loss of someone, to the worries and stress of being a parent, To the very well written incites in to depression and the impact all these events had on all the characters within this story.
I found myself captivated by this book, I read this quickly in one sitting, drawn in to the lives of the characters, enthralled by the twist and turns in the story and left just feeling wow by the end what an emotional journey.
As I said before this is a perfect little gem of a book, don't be fooled by it's size, it leaves such an impression, you will be sad it ended and if your like me be craving more of this authors writing!
