Below The Big Blue Sky Anna McPartlin
“From the bestselling author of The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes comes a huge-hearted
novel about death, family and finding laughter in the most bloody mental places”
Rabbit has now died and her family are coming to terms with her passing and how they
will cope with the huge hole that she has left in their lives. Davey, Rabbit's brother, was
elected by her to look after Juliet, her daughter. No longer Bunny but Juliet. Rabbit's
sister Grace discovered as Rabbit died that she too had “the gene”. She now has to
decide what her next and best course of action would be.
This is a beautifully written book about a sensitive subject. It does need to be read after
the first one “The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes”. (which is a 5* read) There is laughter
and memories, tears and smiles and that feeling that Rabbit hasn’t left them but is still
in their hearts. I had to smile at the Irish menu (I have an Irish family by marriage)
and that here in England we wouldn't be having a funeral 3 days after the event,
more like 3 weeks. Molly is a real character and I liked her bravery over the water meter.
The Irish really don’t hang about. A truly wonderful touching read,
like the first book, its one to remember and savour.
