After I'd finished it, all the layers of the plot settled on top of each other like golden mille feuille as the themes, plots and sub-plots were resolved satisfyingly.

I loved the whole concept of Tamsyn setting out to unravel the mystery of the possessions in Alice's Box and the impact those discoveries would have - not just for her family, but for the community. We live times where everyone knows If you like stories where the past and the present interconnect then The White Cuckoo is for you. We live times where everyone knows everyone else's business and there are few family secrets. However, as we find in The White Cuckoo, the past has to be confronted and dealt with in order to make sense of the imperfect present we all inhabit.

The characters are well rounded and their actions make sense as the plot unfolds. Annie Ireson handles the themes of paranormal mystery and romance adeptly; and I must admit that the paranormal elements of the story sent a shiver down my spine more than once. I enjoyed the description of the Northamptonshire countryside and the full rounded, three dimensional characters who stay with you when you finish reading.

I look forward to reading more from this debut author. Oct 29, Aunty Janet rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this story, written by a local author. Don't be put off by the somewhat overblown writing style at the start, or the paranormal description I really don't like paranormal stuff but though that this was charming. I loved the characters and was really drawn into the story, so much that I was sorry to reach the end. The book is set in a fictional village in Northamptonshire and I had fun trying to work out which village it was set in.

I couldn't work it out and suspect that it may I really enjoyed this story, written by a local author. I couldn't work it out and suspect that it may have been drawn on several local villages. Annie Ireson has written a trilogy set in Kettering which I also recommend, especially for local readers.

Nov 22, Rebecca rated it liked it. I really enjoyed this, especially as it was written by a local author and the setting was in my home county so I could really visualise the places and people as the story unfolded. There were some slightly unrealistic plot points not least the supernatural elements , and as always, the plot hangs on communication or lack of it!

I will read more from this author although I've read everything by her now as it stands! From the opening chapter I was hooked into this beautifully written novel. I was right there with adolescent Harry and young Jess in the woods, as she goes into labour, rooting for them to find a way to survive.



The story starts and finishes in and the period detail brings the era vividly to life, but the modern day setting that makes up the bulk of the story is just as evocative.

There's an intriguing - and rather chilling - supernatural element, which I enjoyed, and all the characters are well-drawn - especially Tammy. I was absorbed into her life to the point where I didn't want the book to end. Some wonderful lines too
