Book Information

Nature? Nurture? Or just plain luck?

Single mums, Tia and Kay, meet when their sons are born on the same day.

Tia is a product of the welfare system but wants a better life for her son. Her entrapment by her manipulative and controlling boyfriend in the world of drink, drugs, crime and enforced prostitution suggests otherwise. Is she a ‘born devil’ or can she change and break free?

Kay comes from a stable home but sacrifices it all, initially, to live her own kind of life.

Overshadowed by betrayals, mistakes, regrets, and the mystery of an abandoned child, their paths – and those of their families – run parallel or criss-cross over twenty-five years.

Can determination and the power of the snow globe offer a chance of happiness?

My Review

4☆ A Poignant and Highly Compelling Read.

THE FRACTURED GLOBE is a Poignant and Highly Compelling read.

Tia and Kay are both very different, yet share the same paths. Both running,  both just about surviving, both end up pregnant and alone.

But Tia really hasn't had the best start in life and it doesn't get any easier when she becomes a mum, she only knows how to survive, cheat and lie by any means possible.

What follows is the utterly heart breaking journey the two take. As they battle with their daemons.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this emotionally charged story. I had so many mixed emotions towards Tia and Kay. But Tia's character got under my skin, her vulnerability yet strength despite always being in the path of temptation. She really did have a tough time. Yet Kay I didn't particularly sympathise with, she made the choices she made yet she could of easily made peace for herself.

Oh and I have to give a mention to the beautiful book cover.
Overall The Fractured Globe is a highly compelling story that will keep you turning the pages long into the day or night.
