My Lockdown Books: Forty Eight

Here’s another review from The Scotsman for a very good book.

From Nosy Crow comes Little Bits of Sky, SE Durrant’s debut novel. The story of Zac and Ira, siblings in care in the 1980s, it is a beautiful book. The plot is slight but the characters and the emotion are things of joy. SE Durrant conveys both economically and subtly as she tells the story of the children and the mysterious Glenda. In spite of its lyrical quality, realism permeates the book and the ending, whilst optimistic, is entirely believable. I can offer no higher compliment than that this is worthy of Elizabeth Laird at her very best.
