| I've just finished this book, and I'm an emotional wreck. I love the author's sparse writing and ability to draw the reader into the narrator's world, so we feel every emotion and feel every loss. The complexity of love, both past and present are wel ...more | |

Good morning Joanne, I trust you are having a peaceful Monday. Thank you for your kind comment, I am blushing. 'Pumpkin' has some romance in it, but 'Attic' is more of a dark suspense. I would be interested to know what you think at a later date of course!
Best wishes
