Book Reviews of Fire in the Blood (Vintage International)
Book Review: Love and betrayal in a sleepy little village
Summary: 5 Stars
"There's no such thing as uncomplicated emotions", reflects the narrator. His own youthful follies long behind him, Sylvestre watches his family and neighbours with the detachment of age and experience. He recollects his passion for life, the fire in the blood. He who knows so much is acutely aware of the deep influence of the past on the present. People's personal histories are shaped by what they choose to remember or forget.
This is a haunting tale of secrets bubbling beneath the apparently tranquil surface of a peaceful rural community between the wars. The author's keen eye and the gift of making the setting of her story come alive draw you in.
