![]() I think it could easily become the next modern classic. ![]() ![]() The way we learn about the little details of everyday life in Zoe's home is really nice, as it makes the story seem much more real – otherwise I think it would seem a little far fetched. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but this one is so lovely – I'd treasure it even if I hated the story! I especially like the red birds printed on the edges of the pages, so when you look to open it they seem to be flying along the book! It also adds a lot of perspective on our own troubles. In case you're wondering, that's not her real name. I really enjoyed it! Normally I hate books about romance and family troubles, but the darkness to this made it a chilling tale, with a definite edge.Īll the way through you're aware of what will happen, but when it comes you are still completely shocked and worried for Zoe. Annabel Pitcher, quote from Ketchup Clouds Copy text Escribiendo no existe lo del nudo en la lengua, pero si existiera, si mi mano fuese como una lengua enorme, de verdad le digo que la tendra atada con uno de esos nudos complicados que solo los boy scouts saben deshacer. This is definitely not my usual type of book – not one I'd pick up in a bookshop. At the end, almost as a postscript, we get to read Dot's Diary, which, despite all its simplicity and spelling mistakes, is very telling and revealing. We learn about her life at school, and their arguments about Grandpa, who's in hospital. Along the way, we're let into her family life, with her annoying sister Sophie (no – not me!) and her cute little sister Dot, who's deaf. In these letters we find out how she and Max first met and how she gradually came to discover her love for his brother, Aaron, and how this eventually caused a terrible event. ![]()
