I was asked by NetGalley to review this book and I was so pleased to do so as I love Rachel Hore and her stories. This one did not disapoint.

A dual timeline of two women- Nancy who studied Zoology and feels her life has been ruined. Then she meets journalist Stef and as friendship blossoms and Nancy feels she can tell her story now she is older.  Stef realises that post war Nancy suffered predudices as a woman scientist. 

The story is powerful and interesting and keeps the reader interested till the end of the story. 

Recommended read - due for publication 30 July 2025.

 

I was asked to review by NetGalley and the publishers 

Reading this in February I have to close my eyes and think of those long balmy summer days during the long holidays.

The author paints such a wonderful picture of Cornwall and I am there- this is friendship, romance a bit of intrigue and personal history all thrown into the mix. 

The author creates such wonderful characters- a story that you may think is predictable but with lots of twists and tuens along the way.

A perfect sun bed read whether in a cottage in the South West or lying under a palm tree this will be up there in the top ten this summer. Due for publication on the 5th June 2025.

I loved this story.

 

An interesting look at Evolution 

I was asked to review this book by Lovereading. 

Wow what a read and will always be apt. At present with conflicts around the world, I keep asking the questions why are human the way they are? how are we shaped how did evoution occur. Reading this book is less complicated and the author gets it. I had not thought about evolution from a process point of view as spiritualism sometimes overtakes and we then look at this really from just one perspective here the author looks at this from all angles. Some are known as we have grown up with Darwins theory but it is also interesting from the authors perspective also.  It is all part of the bigger picture. 

Well researched, well written and authors exploration of his own theories also.
