Shadowstory is a deceptively simple story by Irish writer Jennifer Johnston, a favourite author of Kim from Reading Matters so I didn't hesitate when I saw it at the library. It's a coming-of-age story that explores the nature of love - and the betrayals that complicate it.
I think there is something magical about Jennifer Johnston, she manages to take a simple story and weave careful characters into it with such skill and grace that you reach the end with a contented sigh. It wasn't Polly who was the strongest character for me but her Grandmother, she held the whole story together from beginning to end.
"That is all there is, really. Not much of a story, I'm afraid.
