Summary

A brother sent away.

A sister in a loveless home.

A father ruthlessly murdered.

Ricky and Leonora Bates are brother and sister, best friends, allies in a loveless family.

They are a constant disappointment to their domineering father.

He views Ricky’s quiet bookishness as weakness and Leonora’s feisty intelligence as unbecoming.

Then Ricky is sent away to a boarding school in South Africa to “toughen him up”. And Leonora is stuck dealing with her dysfunctional parents on her own.

The unthinkable happens.

Leonora’s father travels to South Africa to bring Ricky home. Disaster strikes. Her father is shot dead. And her brother is nowhere to be found.

Now Leonora must find the truth.

Just wow.

from the very first sentence this book drew me into its charm, it's passion, it's characters, but above all it's sheer emotion. Then, for the entire book, I couldn't stop inhaling it's words as if my wellbeing depended on it. Then, that beautiful little twist just before the ending. So wonderfully written, the words fit together perfectly, almost poetically, to create the final whole like a jigsaw completion. My first book by this author will certainly not be my last. The narration was perfectly aligned with the story and a joy to listen to. My only regret is that not all this authors books are on audible yet.... hopefully soon.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
