Amber Fury | Natalie Haynes
9 posts | 14 read | 15 to read
When Alex Morris loses her fiance in dreadful circumstances, she moves from London to Edinburgh to make a break from the past. Alex takes a job at a Pupil Referral Unit, which accepts the students excluded from other schools in the city. These are troubled, difficult kids and Alex is terrified of what she's taken on. There is one class - a group of five teenagers - who intimidate Alex and every other teacher on The Unit. But with the help of the Greek tragedies she teaches, Alex gradually develops a rapport with them. Finding them enthralled by tales of cruel fate and bloody revenge, she even begins to worry that they are taking her lessons to heart, and that a whole new tragedy is being performed, right in front of her."

#roll100 I always enjoy a book that references Greek tragedy so this was good, but not great. I was expecting some sort of twist or reveal which didn‘t come but good nonetheless!

I‘m not totally sure what I feel about this one. It made me want to keep reading, but there were elements missing for me; main character Alex didn‘t gel with me.

An intensely readable page turner, I very much enjoy this author! I found myself thinking a lot about the universality of our stories in the aftermath of trauma. Well drawn characters and the reader of the audio book had a great voice and a great balance of reading/performing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this to be an interesting story — especially with the eerie echoes of my own short-lived teaching career held within — highlighting a type of relationship that rarely gets explored, and showing the impact, both positive and negative, we can have on a person without ever realizing it.

Found this book for only $1, and was not disappointed. 📖

Intrigued to know where this one is going - billed as a crime novel but I'm not sure what the crime is yet....
