Georgia Pine

The Vast Landscape #2

by Jacqueline Cioffa

THE VAST LANDSCAPE continues, alive in memory. The gatekeeper, fixer of Harrison’s family, Georgia Pine. Faint whispers drift from the stars into the evergreen, cottage bedroom. The Cove, a mystic beach, granddaughter’s refuge. The sea, sun, stars and moon welcome their return. The crimson child, with blazing hair and fire belly will do as she’s told, not before she’s ready.

Pyre and brimstone, locks of ginger, gut instinct to guide her.

Fans of the emotional, soul stirring first novel will not be able to put this exciting sequel down.

246 pages, Paperback

[Micky P · Rating 4 out of 5]

I finished this book just as Adele's new song "Hello" hit the airwaves and if there is ever a playlist for this book / author, Adele has to be in it. Seriously. The combination of both is mesmerising. Jacqueline Cioffa ensures you're holding a page turner which will make you question your own family life and relationships. Strength plus passion plus a whole lot of emotion. Imperfection versus expectations. That's what this book was about.

Georgia Pine describes the many complication human relationships which stem from what we expect others to do or from how we expect them to be. A powerful read in which the main character embraces maturity.

Reviewer Disclosure - I received a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Thank you, Jackie Cioffa, for this sequel

Beautifully written sequel to Jacqueline Cioffa's debut novel The Vast Landscape. Loved them both. Greatly appreciate the opportunity to read more of Cioffa's writing. As I have been living the joys and losses of life, of loving an adolescent child and aging parents, this novel helped me grieve a bit, shed a few tears, tears I need to let loose. Thank you, Jackie.
