Parental love is a by-line to a fast paced and entertaining story. The author puts across the deep emotions of bereavement and love for her child with a sure and deft touch.

A great story . . . sexual politics and suspense. Touching and well-observed relationship between mother and child. But I want to know what happens next . . .

Louisa Young can definitely write. But what ridiculous storylines and characters! The heroine is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed belly-dancer, for a start, who gets embroiled in all sorts of outlandish and improbable situations. I just felt that Young was trying too hard to be cool, trying to impress the reader with how hard she is (couldn't shake the feeling that Evangeline was Young) All that motorbike stuff and hard-faced one-liners that no woman I know would ever come out with. To the reader who wanted to know what happens next, there is a sequel on its way apparently. Whoopee.
