for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book.
Infinite Strange is a contemporary romance genre . The story is set in 1978 and is about Leah who is 18 years old and is about Leah and Mum relationship and the choices they have to make. I found Infinite Strange a very emotional read, is written beautifully and holds your attention till the end. I liked Wendy Skorupski descriptions thought out the book and I could visualize them in my head. Wendy Skorupski writing style is very different from other authors I have read and it's unique. I was drawn to the story straight away and found the story easy to get into. The story is set at a good pace, and you will feel like you been on rollercoaster of emotions after reading this book. Beautiful and touching read 5 stars. Well worth a read .
This is a different gener to what I normally read and I love it when I come across a book thats out of my comfort zone that I enjoyed immensely.
Blurb
On a snowy February morning in 1978, eighteen-year-old Leah Cavanagh meets Brother Matthew Haddon while on a retreat with her Catholic girls’ school. The four days she spends at Greystones Abbey in the wilds of North Yorkshire will have a profound impact not only on her own life, but also on that of her single mother Molly, who never recovered from the murder of her fiancé in 1956.
Leah and Matthew start writing to each other. Soon a tentative friendship develops, with a hint of more. The longing that Leah feels is shared vicariously by Molly, who sees something of her late fiancé in a photograph that Leah shows her of the handsome young monk. When Leah leaves home to study at music college, her feelings for Matthew deepen and she has difficulty committing to other relationships.
Over the coming years Leah keeps returning to Greystones Abbey, spurred by her infatuation for Matthew. The forbidden desire between them grows in intensity with each visit, until it seems impossible that the monk’s vows of chastity will remain unbroken. Soon Leah finds herself unable to break free - neither from her controlling mother, nor her enigmatic yet tortured monk - and realizes that choices will have to be made.
Author bio
Wendy Skorupski had an international upbringing in Cyprus and Vienna and graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in England. She lives in the beautiful historic city of Krakow in Southern Poland and works in the field of international education. Her first dream was to be a concert pianist, just like Leah Cavanagh in her latest novel, Infinite Stranger, therefore she writes about this little-known world from first-hand experience. Infinite Stranger was also inspired by the murder of Wendy’s late mother’s fiancé, Peter Fox - a tragic event that changed the course of her life and provided the backdrop to the novel.
Wendy is the mother of three wonderful children and the owner of a stubborn but loveable Belgian Malinois. During her daily brisk walks with this high-energy dog, ideas for her writing abound.
Wendy is also the author of the novel, Once Upon a Thousand Hills, available on Amazon. She is currently working on her next novel.
