Synopsis
Finding Jack
How do you get over the loss of your husband? And not only your husband but your home too and all the trappings of your old existence?
Gennie moves back to Cornwall in search of a fresh start. Working for Marion’s children’s charity seems perfect. Tucked away in the countryside, close to an artists’ community, it’s a place for Gennie and her daughter, Alice, to rebuild their lives in peace and quiet – until ex-soldier Jack comes along with the same idea in mind, a face from the past, forcing Gennie to confront things she would rather forget and igniting fears of another turbulent relationship.
Involving herself with Jack and his problems is the last thing she needs, not now she’s made new friends and opportunities are opening up again, but can either find happiness and a new direction without the other?

Review
This is the first book, I have read by Sofia Due and after reading this, I am now going back to to read her first book Ed & Lily, this is such a beautiful story, so well told, Sofia has a definite skill for storytelling. I knew from the first couple of chapters I was going to really enjoy this, I really didn’t want to put it down and just wanted to keep reading.
Sofia has written such wonderful characters, that you can’t help but feel for, be connected to and that is part of why you are so addicted , because I just had to know that Gennie would be happy, that she would get what she needed and deserved. But not just Gennie and of course Jack, but supporting characters such as Hamid and his story.
This was really emotional to read, it has some very serious and important issues such as alcoholism, asylum, the things we will do to be safe, and the author deals with these with great care and sensitivity. I really enjoyed this book and after I have read Ed & Lily, I will be eagerly awaiting I Sofia’s future books.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
