My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author so I was very excited be invited into the blog tour for Coming To Find You, her latest book. This is going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
The story is told in two timelines one following Nancy in the present day following the murder of her stepfather, which her stepbrother Martin was blamed for and one following her grandmother Elizabeth in the second world war as she takes in evacuees against her husband’s wishes. Out of the two timelines I did prefer the war timeline as I felt there was more going on. However that doesn’t mine I didn’t find Nancy’s timeline intriguing as it was very interesting trying to discover what actually happened that night.
There are lots of difficult subjects included in this book which might not be to everyone’s taste but I thought the author handled them well and that they seemed to fit the story naturally rather then just being added to the story for drama purposes. It was especially interesting to me to see how some of the same issues were handled in the different timelines though quite poignant to see how some attitudes hadn’t really changed.
The story has a great pace to it and I liked how I was drawn straight into the story without much preamble. The author does a great job of slowly increasing the atmosphere in the book until it becomes so intense that I couldn’t put the book down and ended up reading far to late. There were lots of twists that kept me guessing and I loved the way the author slowly reveals all the family’s secrets until the reader understands the whole story.
Huge thanks to Ellie for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book.
