Highly recommended.''Reader reviews''Beautifully and skilfully written, a moving, exciting and relatable tale'', ''''A very ingenious, colourful and exciting read'', ''A great read, thought provoking, gripping, and faultlessly written.

The emotional rollercoaster.''''I was absorbed in it for two days, gripped by the narrative drive, loving the characters and, of course, the theme. I also want to acknowledge also the quality of the writing. It''s a cracker''.''''I LOVED this riveting book! The anticipation of each next chapter. The unexpected plot twists.
