The story is seen through the eyes of Maria Dolz who unwittingly becomes entangled in a web of love, infatuation, death and grief. A darker twist on the conventional ‘boy meets girl’ storyline, this is in turns a love story whilst dipping a toe into the crime genre. The expressive language and long-flowing sentences mirror the steady plot and passionate characters. This intriguing story captivated me from the start but frustrated me at the end!
