Description

Christmas 1981, locked in a winter freeze, Lyttleton is rocked by a fatal hit-and-run.

In the aftermath and the weeks and months that follow, with the Falklands War looming then taking its toll, the lives of the driver, bereaved mother and teenage witness unravel to reveal dark family secrets and a community in trauma.

Told in three distinct voices, Lyttleton Siren is a tragic story of guilt, grief, and coming-of-age.

This felt like a very real and vivid depiction of the time. Told in dual pov about an event that cpuld and does rock a whole village. The scenes are set brilliantly and the story had enough depth to really capture the atmosphere.
I've not read many books with this as the.subject matter and the fauklands descriptions was brutal.
I appreciate books like this where even though it's fiction, I still feel like I'm learning. Or will learn as I often go to Google to find out more.
I thought the teenage point of view was a brilliant idea.
