Finding Eva- J.A Baker Women's Fiction/crime/psychological
Eva was given away as a baby, unwanted by her parents who were unable to cope
with a child at that time. Having had a successful career in finance in London she has
sold her flat and moved to Whitby where she believes her parents are living. Whilst
in London she had a relationship with Gareth- a turbulent one to say the least.
She found respite in the bottom of a bottle and now wishes to put all of this behind
her although she does miss Gareth and finds herself calling him more than she feels
she should. This is a very descriptive read. Something I wouldn’t normally go for but
this is done somehow in a different way. The descriptions drew me in both to the
character and the situation- the mark of a good author in my humble opinion.
Chapters alternate between three main characters- Eva, Gareth and Celia. Celia is
Eva’s lifelong friend whom she was in foster care with. Celia has always had a
protective wing over Eva and when she moves without telling her just knows that
something is amiss and goes to find her. A book to savour if you enjoy detailed
characterisations. In some ways not a lot happens, other than in the minds of the
characters- their thoughts of the past and how they want to put things right or
confront a situation where they feel they have been wronged. A very clever
plot and and ending that made me smile and left me thinking.
A wonderful, different read.
