Read this as it was the banging book club pick for last month and they gave it rave reviews. Really similar to Silver which I read a few years ago and also loved, but this one has the added element of Sophie Stones' book and therefore of privacy after death. It's made me think about various biographies I've read and wonder how their subjects would feel about a book being written about them - and particularly I'm questioning whether I should ever read the book about Billy Tipton which clearly inspired this book and I've always planned to read.
Really well written, although if you like fast action, please take your time with this. You WILL be rewarded.
