I became interested in reading this author because I love the TV series Luther and Neil Cross writes it. This is the second book I’ve read by him now, the first being quite religious and unexpected. This one started out quite slowly and I struggled to get inti it, there was almost too much background. Once Jamie started school things picked up, and really is about how far a parent will go when they find their child is being bullied. I didn’t agree with some of Sams decisions and the story did get far fetched at times but the ending was a bit od a shock and a let down, it really felt a bit rushed. Will persevere though and try another book.

Many thanks for this lovely surprise. An author that I have previously not read. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing.
Always the Sun is not what you would call an uplifting or inspiring read by any means. What's more I certainly wouldn't recommend this to some one who who was already struggling with depression or had themselves suffered at the hand of bullies. This isn't because of the actual bullying which despite being undoubtedly cruel is subtle rather than vicious but rather the emotions that it instils in the reader and certainly the book left me with an uncomfortable after-taste when I finished it.
Oddly I wanted to dislike this book but it was like watching a runaway train racing downhill out of control, you knew it would result in disaster but you can't help hoping that by some miracle disaster would be avoided right at the end.
