Seven days of us- Francesca Homak-4*
Olivia is a medic and has been working in Liberia against the Haag virus- a deadly virus that is contagious. She has been allowed to come home for Christmas however there are strict rules in place- one of which is that the whole family must stay “in quarantine” for 7 days. This they plan to do at the family home and not mix with others. Emma, her mother doesn’t want to spoil this precious time and keeps her own cards close until they are accidently spilled. Sister Phoebe is engaged but her fiance George isn’t as enthusiastic as she would like and she thinks it is about having the wedding at home where she has always dreamed of it being. Andrew, the father had a letter a year ago that he thought would go away if he took no notice of it, until he started getting a couple of emails. Families and secrets, whispers and lies. This is one of those books that before you realise it has enveloped you and you can’t stop turning the pages. Characters that you warm to (or want to shake at times!). A very different plot, a very well written tale.I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased
