Survivor by Lesley Pearse

Title: Survivor
Author: Lesley Pearse
ISBN: 9780718159061

I enjoyed this book immensely. I found it an easy relatable read. I liked watching Mariette grow as a person this is why I believe this book is split into three parts. The first being up until her family in England died, the next being when she learnt to care for other people, the last stage being after she is reconnected with a former lover who she learns to care deeply about because of the lessons learnt in the early stages.

I found the first stage to be realistically written for today despite it being set in 1931. I enjoyed watching her grow as a person in the second stage and liked the fact that I didn’t know what was going to happen to Mariette from paragraph to paragraph at times during this stage which kept me engaged as a reader. In the last stage I enjoyed reading her reconnection with her former lover in way that wouldn’t have been possible in the first stage.


Yes I would recommend this book to a friend.
