Does she find it and is it all she hoped for? It sounds relatively straightforward, yes? I wasn’t sure I was going to particularly like this book, especially because of the title, but as I became more attached to the main character, I began to appreciate the web of

interconnected complications that led to the title, and there was a satisfying twist as well that really made me appreciate the ending. The outcome  tied up nicely – not too neatly, not too conveniently, just the way an arresting novel should be. Find it at the

Magunga Bookstore.
