Blue Water By Manette Ansay Headline Review, £6.99MANETTE Ansay has a way of writing which grabs you right from the start, and won't let you go.
Her fast, punchy style, and detailed descriptions of the every-day, give the book a relentless pace which leave you wanting to find out more.
The detailed descriptions, first-person narrative and flashback style are almost cinematic and make you feel you are looking down on the world of the main character Megan Van Dorn from above.
Tragedy is central to the plot. On an ordinary morning in Wisconsin a drunk driver -– Megan's one-time best friend Cindy Ann Kreisler – crashes into the Van Dorns' car, killing their six-year-old son, Evan.
Megan and husband Rex's escape is to buy a boat and sail around the world. But they can't flee forever, and they are forced to return and confront their emotions.
If you don't mind the tears flowing then this could be for you.
