I first discovered this fabulous author when I read another of her books Bunny on a Bike, which I loved. Eager to read more of her work I downloaded My Grandfather's Eyes, knowing from the synopsis it would be totally different type of book. Different yes; but it was equally as enthralling. Despite having a really busy few days I found I simply could not put this book down!I don't like to give away too much of the story-line and spoil it for you. But will say this book is written from the perspective of Alex Crane and we learn about her life from childhood to present day and the complex relationships she has with her grandfather, grandmother, parents, husband and best friend. Alex is such a unique character and so different from many other heroines. Parts of her character are seriously flawed and yet the author has so artfully created her to still be endearing in her honesty. This book is expertly written, full of beautiful descriptions and every sense is heightened particularly her use of the characters sense of touch.There are so many layers to this book and the secrets this family have concealed for many years are gradually revealed. BA Spicer keeps us guessing right to the end, in this brilliant psychological drama that I could definitely see being snapped up for TV.
