My review -
Esme
Quentin has moved to Devon to be closer to her friend, and to the area in which
she grew up. She makes contact with her late husband’s journalist friend Tim,
and though she’s reluctant, she agrees to work with him. Her speciality is
genealogy. Her friend is concerned about her mother, the woman Esme has known
since childhood, but who is now very reluctant to look into her own memories
about her sister, who disappeared after the war. As they delve, things come
very close to home for Esme.
I
loved the way information unfolded gradually and we realised how complex this
web was. We aren’t always happy to face our memories and we don’t like those
who try to confront us with things we’re trying to keep in the dusty attic of
our minds. This is brought over extremely well. People important to Esme were
in danger and she got on with the job, as always. Esme Quentin is becoming one
of my heroes!

received a pre-publication copy of this book.
