Last year, I was not a part of the Block tour for Johana's first book, called block 46. But I loved it just as well. What I love about this book is all the different layered characters and the different places we get to visit within the book. We get to visit London we get to visit in Sweden amongst other things. I am very impressed with this novel and the writing. The writing has totally blown me away, besides me being very interested in anything having to do with Jack the Ripper. There is so much atmosphere in this book, it was very hard to put down for things like sleep and food. The story effortlessly connected with each the characters and the mentions of different situations from the past to the present from London to Sweden I was truly engaged from the moment I first opened the book till the last page at the end.
Look at the beautiful author Johana Gustawsson. She was born in 1978 in Marcille and with a degree in political science she has worked as a journalist for the French press and television. She married a Swede and now lives in London. She was the co-author of a bestseller that was published in France, whose television adaptation grew over 7 million viewers in 2015 in June. Her debute, block 46, was an award-winning International bestseller, with keeper following suit. She is working on the next book in the Roy and Castells series. Which of course makes me very excited.
Thank you so much to Anne Cater, from the random things through my letterbox, who has kept me on Team Orenda all this time and I'm very grateful for. Thank you also to orenda books into the author for this copy of this book.
