After reading this captivating novel, I can honestly say it is the best book I HAVE EVER READ.

The book itself has quite a disturbing/sickening idea, the idea of a brother and sister who fall in love and engage in sexual activity. Incest is a controversial, sinister topic which you wouldn't want to read about but it really does make a brilliant novel. You almost forget the fact that they are brother and sister.

Towards the middle of the novel, we begin to understand why they feel the way they do about each other. They are two teenagers, already at a sensitive stage in their lives with a mother who quite frankly doesn't care about their well being and a father who left for abroad with his new family. Left to look after 3 younger also troubled siblings, they become the parent roles. If you started reading the novel half way through, you would genuinely not believe they are brother and sister, as they become the mother and father of their younger siblings, almost like they are their own children. There is nothing more to say as you must read it yourself.

PLEASE READ.
