This is out BOTM - we chose a coming of age book for this month!

Apart from the exquisite writing, seen from the view points of inter-related family members, it gives you a flavour of the cultural world from 1895 to the first world war. A lot of the characters come from privileged backgrounds but, for me personally, I was encouraged to see the rise of two working class siblings from Stoke-on-Trent in the fields of pottery and women's suffrage.

Sci-fi mixed with philosophy and humour. Our routine existence our world even, seems so safe so mundane, but it could be far from that and this book could give you a new perspective, much like when astronauts saw the first earth rise from the moon.

Whilst reading this book I felt like I was in the book rather than reading it. There are many twists and turns and it is well written. I won’t give any information away as I don’t want to spoil for anyone but I highly recommend reading this book.

I loved this book, it’s definitely one of my favourites! A book about love and heart break, a woman who falls in love with an avoidant in the hope one day he might chose her. It covers a lot in mental health and the recovery of the womans emotions wellbeing! I loved it I definitely got sucked in but I think it was quite relatable.
