I have read a few Sophie Green stories now, and am at the stage that I will never give up an opportunity to read a new one.

She has again given us an wonderful tale of different lives intertwining, and strangers becoming family - because blood does not always make you a family.

Set in 1998, it gave me some great memories of how my home country and home state were. I smiled at the reminders of Sydney pre-Olympics and how the city changed in those years leading up.

Beautifula imagery had me picturing the places she was talking about as I was reading.

As there were many characters, it did take me a little while to distinguish a couple of them from each other, but once I got my brain wrapped around it all was good.

Alex most resonated with me, as I too did the tree change from Sydney to country NSW. so her feelings about the town and time to adapt felt so real to me..

I liked how the choir brought all these completely different, yes somehow similar characters together. Their issues were relatable, and I felt that their stories grew and resolved organically,

Sophie Green has become one of the Australian authors whose stories I have come to really admire, and I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.
