Imogen Clark writes with such fluidity, that this debut novel was an absolute delight to read. The alternating points of view showcased an elaborate web that Ms. Clark wove together beautifully. Cara is such a complex individual, and yet somehow relatable on so many levels. I found myself cheering her on throughout the story, hoping that she could solve this most complex puzzle in her life.
The author also deals well with the stark reality of caring for an aging and/or terminally ill parent. The reader is privy to Cara's most honest feelings about her situation, and the true difficulties she faces on a daily basis in having to care for her father.
Several twists and turns had me guessing throughout the novel, and the "big reveal" was certainly unexpected! I look forward to reading more of Ms. Clark's upcoming work, as I can sense that her literary career will surely blossom.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Lake Union Publishing for gifting me with this novel in exchange for an honest review.
