A review by cerim
The Postcard by Leah Fleming
4.0
Ok, so everything came together very well in this novel and there were a lot of coincidences and ‘it just so happens’ but I found myself so drawn in to the world of Phoebe, Callie, Desmond and others that I could overlook the historical inaccuracies and the slightly skewed timeline.
I really enjoyed the different settings and thought the author did well to capture such varying environments around the world.
The one thing that really did annoy me was Jessie referring to Desmond as ‘hen’ - this just wouldn’t happen as he is male, and no one in Scotland refers to boys as ‘hens’. But that’s a very small nitpick!
I enjoyed this family history tale which spanned decades and would definitely read more from the author.
