Firstly, I have to say that I
really like this cover and how it conjures shimmering heat and the promise of a
foreign world. The drama explored in the cover is continued in a story which is
intriguing and filled with surprises.
Olivia Bowden finds that she has
inherited a large sum of money from her aunt Dorothy. This unexpected windfall gives
Olivia the opportunity to try to make sense of her life which has been
shattered by a traumatic event which happened some five years earlier.
Embarking on a journey, Olivia must learn to face the demons of her past before
she can hope to get resolution for her future.
In Chergui’s Child, the author
has written a commendable family drama which looks at the vagaries of fate and also
of the devastating heartache of being involved with the wrong people. Time and
place is captured really well and I felt like I journeyed with Olivia as she
travels to find what she so desperately craves. The hint of mystery in Olivia's
life is nicely explored and I liked the way that the novel hinted at events in
Olivia’s past, so that we were given the reasons for her sadness. To say any more about the plot would spoil the
overall effect of the story and I would hate to give anything anyway.
