A really evoking read. The imagery and writing style makes the world come to life and seem touchable, the emotions feelable immediately. A truly gripping story too, if slightly confusing at times when reading the book in smaller chunks. The most emotive part is reflected in the relationships of the spencer family. The siblings are true to life, loving and caring towards each other but suitably disillusioned with each other as well. Zala and Nats relationship development too is touching, real and effecting.
