The author describes life in a community that defines itself by its religious or atheist stance and where everyone is always a bit under some sort of social scrutiny. The characters have depth and we follow them with interest as they make us reflect on various aspects of life in a Kiwi town. For a first novel, Stubbs shows great skills. On the whole, the novel is well written: it is a pleasure to read.\u003cbr\u003e- M (Amazon-fr reviewer)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I strongly recommend this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e- SPORK (Amazon reviewer)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warwick Stubbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067477344496,"sku":"2940045521130","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045521130_p0.jpg?v=1763976428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045521130","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
