Driftwood by Harper Fox

4.0

Oh, Harper Fox. There's no one like her for making me want to run off to Cornwall and become a SAR helicopter pilot/rural GP/psychic/local bobby. It's really quite the skill that even in books where things look as bleak as they do in this, she still manages to create this atmosphere of lyrical beauty and hope. The way she writes makes everything luminous, even the very difficult stuff - and this one does get quite grim at points. She's so good at writing characters who come into the story already wounded, lugging around a lot of baggage, finding it difficult to connect to other people, so that when they do meet the right person and feel a renewed sense of desire to exist in the world, you can't help but get swept up by it. I hope she continues to write for a very long time, I really do.
