What a fantastic read! It’s engaging, mysterious, and has many enormous twists and turns. This book will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and in tears the next.

The town of Dungatar presents a complex dynamic that allows us to truly face the consequences of living in an insular community. Its message bears lots of relevance to our contemporary society.

Despite its emotional intensity, it’s not too difficult a read, and is perfect for those struggling to find time in the day for reading.
