A review by falgelednl
The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan
4.0
I found it hard going to get into this book and had to go back and re-read some reviews before I really ‘got’ it.
The story focuses on the death of her son and is predominantly told from Masha’s POV; however, it is interspersed with narrative by Alice and, initially, the two stories seem to have no connection.
I made the link about halfway through and, at the end, was proved correct.
This book is certainly worth persevering with. It has a cast of eclectic but well-written characters. Masha is well-loved by her curious band of friends and there are some fabulous scenes with her in the cemetery.
I’m glad I kept going and quite like, now I’ve got used to it, the lack of detail at the end.
