This book is demanding of the reader, dancing as it does between the stories of a fascinating and diverse ensemble of characters. Powerfully rooted in place, the action takes place over a short period of time in which the lives of everyone in a small town are overturned. We are taken into some curious places and spaces, the pace rarely letting up. I was eager to discover what would happen to the characters I was rooting for, and what would become of the town.
It was also fascinating reading a self-published first work of fiction, it has a visceral edge which I found refreshing. The story is based on diligent researched and offered me an insight into some history which I was totally unaware of.

Afraid this was garbage. Aside from several grammatical errors and the awful habit of ending too many sentences with question marks, the story was very difficult to follow.
Scenes change without warning from one paragraph to another leaving the reader having to backtrack to work out what’s going on. I had great trouble staying interested.
