A five star! Despite having a touch of sci fi in there!
Typically I’m not a sci fi fan at all. Anything that stretches the believable can turn me off quickly. But Ms. Chamberlain, who has written lots of other books (another five star: Necessary Lies) was convincing enough that this was a book I couldn’t wait to pick up again, while, at one point (the main twist) I sat and stared at it, terrified to pick it up again. Perhaps not something to read while you are pregnant, the story takes place in the 1970’s when a pregnant girl is informed her baby has a terminal disease and her brother-in-law, a physicist, knows that in the future there are medical advances that can treat this disease. I’ll leave the plot there, but it was definitely a book I couldn’t put down!
