Nothing is ever quite as it seems in Eve Gold's life. Or in her death.
The tale starts on her 27th birthday with a chance accident and elides backwards as well as forward. Grim future is filled with hospital rooms, rehabilitation and a deep dive into traumatic brain injury. The past segments are lyrical, multi-sensory - their Elysian shimmer not-quite shielding our eyes from the ragged, often wretched childhood beneath.
There's more than one mystery being pieced together here, and a touch of paranormal. The writing is sound, and Eve is a character who engages the reader's sympathy. But there's no denying this is a hard read, dealing with tough topics: child abuse, toxic parenting, mental illness, and physical as well as psychological trauma.
A gripping journey that will have you thinking about death, memory, and the fluidity of time.
