Double timeline books that attract several viewpoints are certainly my preferred brand name of fiction. The Summer Season Celebration appeared to be precisely like the sort of read I gravitate towards and my forecast was right, I enjoyed this one exceptionally. Positioned in the summertime of 2000 and the winter season of 2019, the juxtaposing seasons of summertime and winter season was great.

I delighted in feeling both creative however likewise deceived by Heath. There is a strong line of unpredictability and unreliability in this one, I wasn’t sure where to put my trust. I did discover a connection with Lucy and I likewise warmed to the unforgettable pet Hades in this tale. For me, the setting was the outright standout. I loved the Whitlam house and the seaside background. Heath did this setting totally justice as a South Australian regional.

An emerging and interesting brand-new voice in Australian fiction, Rebecca Heath has actually produced a dynamite launching. I’m eager to be reacquainted with Heath’s operate in the future!
