Tracey Scott-Townsend

This is the first book I have read by Tracey Scott-Townsend, It’s not my usual genre, but Tracey is a local lady from my hometown and to be honest, the storyline sounded very intriguing.

I was a little confused in parts but it soon came together. This was a very sensitive, emotional, gritty, mysterious and infact amazing book, I started reading and couldn’t wait to find out what was on the next page.

Tracey really is a wonderful writer, she somehow gets under your skin and draws you in, she most certainly drew me in. I really enjoyed this book.

Never stick to your normal genre, get out there, try something different. You might just fall upon a gem like I have in ANOTHER REBECCA.… (plus d'informations)

My last #BookReview of 2018. And boy it's a belter from the local #indiepublisher @Wildpressed ... Once again @authortrace had me gripped with this wonderfully written book.

This is the second book I have read of Tracey's and I'm a massive fan.

Sea Babies is a psychologist drama set mainly in the Outer Hebrides and Edinburgh from the 1980s to the present. As a teenager in the 80s this book isn't too " historical" for me so had me completely ensnared in every turn of each page.

I love the characters and the way Tracey brings them to life. It's wonderful and I can see Sea Babies sailing off the shelves

I'd like to sincerely thank the author for giving me a free copy of her novel in return for an honest review. The story portrayed in this book is rather harrowing, intensely emotive and thought-provoking. I feel that the author has drawn on very personal experiences to create such a multi-layered novel.

The characters here are well written, particularly Marion. The thoughtful use of descriptors makes her story so shocking. I felt as though I was being allowed rare glimpses into the mind that she took great care to hide from everyone but her twin brother Cal. It was interesting to see how the family dynamic worked, and what effect this had on the more vulnerable members of the family.

The introduction of Marianne is a twist I couldn't have predicted. She crashes into the lives of Cal and older sister Sarah, bringing out feelings and emotions they'd buried long ago.

If I had to described this book in one sentence, I would find it impossible. Tracey Scott-Townsend has used some of the worst human experiences and turned them on their head. Life. Death. Does reincarnation exist? Do memories of our past lives bubble under the surface of our consciousness? This novel certainly made me consider my answers to these questions.

I found some parts of this novel a bit uncomfortable to read as they deal with such raw human emotion. I hope the reader perseveres through the tough bits in order to finish the novel, it's worth it.… (plus d'informations)
