Tinderbox is set in the future and narrated in dual timelines as Michelle languishes in a hospital bed and tries to piece together her past.
Wow. Second piece by Sasha McCallum I've now read. This is a really lovely story. So sweet and melancholy. So beautiful in love. The timeline jumps around which I enjoy if it plays out well. Two very interesting women finding eachother is always worth the time. I was caught by surprise a little..unprepared.. and.. there were tears. There was heartache. Had to spend time cuddling my darling after this one. Showed her how much I love her. I'm enjoying Sasha's style so much and I can't wait to read another of her books... My Friday night sorted.
