This is a book for people who value passion aligned explicitly with :- the protection of the environment; the majesty of the Australian bush; the intricacies of human relationships; mystery; love; and death.
After reading chapter one, the reader’s curiosity is sparked as to how ‘Boof’ will further contribute to the narrative. As more characters are introduced and as Boof’s identity morphs, this question remains and entices the reader to continue reading the book.
How do you stop loving someone? This is asked and elaborated upon in Reciprocated. It is an easy and uplifting read for all adults who enjoy intrigue and the changing dynamics of personalities.
