geeknb 's review for:
Where Love Grows
by Jay Northcote
I can see that Stephen could be a hard person to like at the being of this book. H's had it rough and his life is no longer what it once was. He grumpy, gruff and hard to get along with, cutting himself off from everything he once loved and anyone who might care. Into this come Luke, a London boy with addiction issues. Sounds like a Garrett Leigh book rather than a Jay Northcote, eh? But no, this is all Northcote and has his style all the way through. So readers hearts don't get ripped asunder and instead we have lovely moments where the relationship develops and only occasional glimpses of angst.
Hamish Long does a great job with the Welsh accent here (something to bear in mind when looking for narrators of my own work) and gives another brilliant performance.
