Nina’s grief was almost palpable. She has suffered a huge loss, which is made clear near to the beginning of the book; however, she is also grieving for the loss of family life, as she has been estranged from her family for so long.
The other characters were also interesting – especially Jesus, who features largely in this book. However, this is a Jesus like none you will have ever read about…he is a fan of reality tv and wears bright coloured toenail polish. If you are not religious, do not be put off by the fact that Jesus features in this book – it is not a story about religion.
Malta is practically another character in the story – vividly brought to life, reading this book made me want to visit there and explore. I can only assume that the author is either very familiar with the island, or has done some extensive research.
Ultimately this is a story about family, grief, home and redemption. Hard to review but easy to read and very very absorbing. Highly recommended, and I will certainly be looking out for other books by this author.
