Not that Book
This is not that Book. It is another one.
This is not that story – it is another one.
A different story. A story of of passion and compassion. A story of communal mind-sets and beliefs.
A story full of characters, scenes, emotions, descriptions. Full but very readable. Slow paced yet still full.
I knew from very early on just what the scandal was going to be – roughly anyway. I knew what it would be about, when it would happen, where it would happen and who would be the main protagonists. But still I was entranced by the story of how we got there and how people reacted.
The writing for me was very powerful – the use of repeated phrases and sentences was very effective.
And the story of just how brutal hockey and the life in a very small and isolated dying town can be, and the need to conform to these small minds, was chilling.
Looking forward to the sequel.
