The Cactus
by Sarah Haywood
I really loved it.
It definitely has a ‘Eleanor Oliphant’ feel to it, in the sense that the story is very much about the protagonist’s journey and how the story weaves around them, rather than a huge climax or fantasy.
•
I thought the character development and scene setting were great. I really got a sense that Haywood knew these places and each setting of the scene was personal and well done.
•
I felt like the different truths about Susan were revealed in such a natural way that told you about her past and why she is the way she is without feeling like a bombardment of information and an attempt to over dramatise the story.
•
Overall I’d give this book a 4/5 and I’d recommend it to anyone that wants a really good and lovely story.
