Dan wants to keep her to fill the space which is growing between him and his wife. Can they heal together or will grief pull them apart?
Carrie-Anne lives in a grainy fug of depression, alcohol and denial, sleeping through days and drinking away nights. Can she find the strength to tie up loose ends?
OPENINGThe house was well under way by the time they got there.
WHAT I THOUGHTAshes is one of the saddest books I've read in a while. The ending actually made me cry. I thought something good was going to happen then the author took out my heart and ate it in front of me while laughing. I was not prepared for that. Ashes is really well written and a great read. Each time I sat down at my Kindle I got lost in Eva's world. I liked the way the novel is structured with chapters written from Eva's point of view, Dan who Eva lived with for a while and Carrie-Anne, her real mother. I like reading different perspectives. Ashes is an enjoyable read and I'd recommend it.
