A world full of colour and interesting artistic characters. Lily learns about the unconventional life that is offered at the Trentham household, a home for strays, she quickly becomes a spectator for a life so different to her own unremarkable mundane existence and becomes a permanent fixture in Eva’s world. Childhood friendships become all consuming because they are completely absorbing, nothing else seems to matter outside of that friendship so when Lily befriends Eva she completely inhabits Eva’s world. There’s nothing more intoxicatingly real and exciting than a childhood best friend, even when later on in life it’s revealed you actually have nothing in common. I fell a little bit in love with this book. Like luxuriating in a long warm bath the writing is languid but completely engaging.
