The Summer of Impossible Things

My review -
After
her mother’s death by suicide, Luna and her sister Pia journey from their
British home to Brooklyn, their mother’s old home. She has left them a message
about something which happened there in 1977 and badly impacted her life and
future happiness. Strange things that happened in Luna’s childhood lead her to
feel she is returning in time and to wonder if she can possibly alter her
mother’s life.
This
is a very well evoked time-slip story and brilliantly re-creates the year 1977,
which I recall clearly. Luna has the opportunity to interfere in the timeline
and save her mother from the disaster which befell her. It becomes obvious that
if she is able to do this, she may damage or destroy her own future. The
arguments for and against are well argued and the story is absolutely
compelling. A real unputdowner!
Thanks
to Netgalley and the publisher for a review copy.
