The Comet Seekers by Helen Sedgwick

3.0

The author uses the analogy of comets' orbits and destruction, to parallel what the characters go through, their entrapment in being haunted (both figuratively and literally) and their final decision to "let go". Interesting this symbolism of comets matches the Biblical concept of humans being made from the soil, and the famous phrase of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". Of the two main converging plots, I found that of Francois and his mother Severine to be more likable than the tortured relationship of Roisin's and Liam's. Roisin is a very very unlikable character in my opinion.
