On her way to her first meeting with her half-sister and brother, Tarrian is engrossed in imagining what surprises this long-awaited moment will bring when a shocking surprise, a sudden earthquake, alters the course of the day's events
Earthquake in England?! Really?! When I read the synpopsis I thought this would be set in Europe, where they actually have earthquakes, not England.
The description of the actual earthquake and the build up to the characters is good and quite realistic. The ending is not fulfilling. And an earthquake in the Midlands?! Really!! Though I notice Hardcastle is careful not to give an exact location.
