4 Stars.

A quiet little book, gorgeously written prose which was very poetic. The main characters were human and the family dynamic was very joyfully realised.

Beautifully written, just gorgeous poetic prose, with a meandering yet compelling plot. I really loved the island setting and the relationship between the protagonist and her mother especially. My only negative is that at times it felt a little over-written, in the way that a debut sometimes can. But this book holds so much promise and I'd love to see what Kathryn writes next!
