Mother Country by Libby Purves
A not quite random choice from the library trolley during an unplanned week in hospital this summer. The author, though younger, was at my school, so why not? No regrets. Excellent fast-paced detective-type story in which a young American, both parents long dead, travels to England to trace his unknown relatives. I like the author's writing style and unexpected twists in the story meant it was absorbing to the end.
