The family come off the page as living beings but even relatively minor characters are fully fleshed. I could have fallen for Rosie's boyfriend, Wilson – she really didn't deserve him, you know – and I could have cried for Cameron the fishmonger with whom she toyed. The story is set on the East Coast of Scotland and there's a real sense of place. When I finished the book I found myself wondering how they were all getting on.
The writing is superb and I do hope that we'll hear more from Sue Peebles. I'd certainly like to thank the publishers for sending a review copy. We also have a review of Peebles' [[Snake Road by Sue Peebles|Snake Road]].
If this book appeals then you'll probably enjoy [[The Help by Kathryn Stockett]], [[M for Mammy by Eleanor O'Reilly]] or [[April and Oliver by Tess Callahan]].
