Sewing The Shadows Together
by Alison Baille
Sewing the Shadows Together is a book about how one event can effect so many lives. Almost 40 years ago 13 year old Shona was raped and murdered. Now DNA proves that the troubled man who has been serving time for this crime is innocent.
That sounds like the perfect setup for a murder mystery but this story is more of a character exploration. The two main characters are Sarah (Shona's best friend) and Tom (Shona's older brother). While the backdrop of the story is this miscarriage of justice it is more about who these two are and how there lives changed as a result of this crime. There are massive personal revelations for them and the ability in the end to come out on the greener side.
Once I started reading I had a hard time putting it down. There are characters you love and characters you hate but they all help the narrative that is being told. Don't grab this if you want an investigative story but do if you want to explore these imperfect characters that you just want to root for.
