review 1: I haven't howled whilst reading since I read The Light Between Oceans....but boy oh boy, I made up for it whilst reading this novel, fittingly mostly in the bath. I feel side swiped, like I want to rush on in and take the three brothers under my wing. A chance meeting at our local bookshop with the author (where I did not purchase a hard copy but waited until I can home to order from kindle;) inspired my choice, as soon as I read she had been compared to Winton... Well... I was sold. Yes- the symbolism of water is similar, as is the gritty reality that threads it's way through the narrative, but frankly, she stakes her own claim in her own right. Definitely a new favourite author, I am looking forward to the next read :)
review 2: I received this as an ARC thro... moreugh Goodreads. The prose is simplistic, but the plot is deep and the imagery powerful. The use of poetic fallacy (weather/nature mirroring a character or mood) enhances the drama, and the flashbacks provide gradual, layered revelations of the central mystery. Some characters' backgrounds and personalities seemed a little neglected, but the central plot was fully realized and well developed. less
