This book has been the binge listen that has seen my kitchen be the cleanest it’s probably ever been!

A beautifully written novella, it focuses on four characters, Kate and her son, their neighbour and a mountain rescue team member.

Set during the Covid lockdown, it’s a reminder (if we needed it!) just how high emotions were running. The loneliness, the helplessness, the feeling of being out of control of your own life and not being able to do the simple every day things that we took for granted.

It’s a tense read, often emotional and it also made me feel anger. With everything that has come to
light since, just how ridiculous some ‘rules’ were and just how damaging it was to so many people.

Fabulous insights into the characters and wonderfully written. I think after a few hours of hearing Sarah Moss’ words in my head, I’d  read her shopping list at this point. Eagerly looking into my next read from her!
