With thanks to Renard Press for providing me a gifted copy of this read.
What's it about? Was it pure chance that he had run into her so soon? Philip had never believed in destiny, and his father had believed in nothing but his own genius. And yet…
From the moment recent Oxford graduate Philip takes the helm of a new marine life institute in Palm Beach, his presence revives old feuds and sparks rivalries among the wealthy resident snowbirds, many of whom have invested heavily in a biotech company soon to be exposed for insider trading. It quickly becomes clear that Philip’s quest for atonement on the behalf of his father will embroil many of the community’s most prominent members.
Interwoven with snippets of real-life drama from an insider-trading scandal, Where Snowbirds Play paints a compelling portrait of the lives of the privileged, and what happens when their world is turned upside down.
Bobs and Books review:
This felt like a bit of a slow burn for me, but actually it eased me into this world and I soon settled in.
This puts a mirror up to some interesting and not always easy relationships. The intricacies of these were what the made the book for me, and seeing this exploration was not only a good people watch, but made an emotional impact at times.
Like a lot of books by this publisher, I am usually left feeling like this was something a little bit different, that annoyingly for reviews, I cant quite put my finger on what.
Out now.
