Alison Fairbrother
PositiveBookreporterThe premise of filling in unknown details of a parent’s life after his or her death is certainly a solid one for a good book. And Alison Fairbrother’s debut novel is indeed a good book. She creates intriguing missteps and unexpected detours for Ellie, who is now trying to make sense of her father’s life ... a great read that addresses a number of contemporary cultural issues and includes rich details about families that shape and reshape. Best of all, though, it’s about a discovery that leads a young woman to grasp the reality of her own life, as well as her father’s. Alison Fairbrother writes brilliantly about how we come to understand ourselves and the people we love.
