The Summer of the Bear by Bella Pollen
4.0
I really enjoyed this novel, in fact much more than I anticipated. An interesting combination of espionage, myth, mystery, spirituality and a family trying to rebuild their lives after the inexplicable death of their husband and father.
A diverse group of well-developed characters from the 'Ambassadress' at the embassy in Bonn to the colourful inhabitants of the Outer Hebrides, my favourite with the young son, Jamie, whose quirky and original way of making sense of his world, pulled me into the narrative.
Well-written, with beautiful and evocative images of these isolated isles, this is a highly recommended read.
