The Last of the Greenwoods by Clare Morrall
The intriguing story of two eccentric brothers and a troubled young postwoman - three outsiders whose pasts resurface in a captivating novel about guilt and forgiveness.
Morrall's writing is tender and subtle: each character is finely drawn, with their flaws and tics as vivid as their courage and kindnessAt no point is one drawn into a false sense of empathy; rather, we meander through the story, becoming increasingly involved. As the plot streams towards it triumphant conclusion, the strands unite into a story that is set in time but also timeless - about recognition, family and what it means to belong. -- Violet Hudson * Literary Review *
