Finding Jack - Sofia Due || Blog Tour

How do you get over the loss of your husband? And not only your husband but your home too and all the trappings of your old existence?

Gennie moves back to Cornwall in search of a fresh start. Working for Marion’s children’s charity seems perfect. Tucked away in the countryside, close to an artists’ community, it’s a place for Gennie and her daughter, Alice, to rebuild their lives in peace and quiet – until ex-soldier Jack comes along with the same idea in mind, a face from the past, forcing Gennie to confront things she would rather forget and igniting fears of another turbulent relationship.

Involving herself with Jack and his problems is the last thing she needs, not now she’s made new friends and opportunities are opening up again, but can either find happiness and a new direction without the other?

Ever read a book and think this is what i would want to write? Well this was me within pages of starting Finding Jack, Its about life, literally following Gennie in her life and let me tell you - it draws you in and i just felt like i was observing her as she went about her day to day challenges. Having lost her husband and her previous life. Gennie is working hard to rebuild it for her and her daughter. So when she meets Jack it throws what she is working towards up in the air and makes herself ask lots of questions and some she would rather forget.

Like i said i was drawn in, it was written in a way that you are living it along with Gennie, i was a big fan of her - she stood her ground, her morals and her beliefs but shes also passionate, funny and caring. As a reader she was just such a great character to discover. I really loved getting lost in these pages and its one to sit down with and enjoy a cup of tea like a catch up with an old friend.

Sofia Due lives and works in London but spends much of her time in North Cornwall, which inspired the setting for this book. She works as a lawyer, specialising in asylum and human rights claims and often acts for victims of modern slavery. Her debut novel, Ed & Lily, was published in 2021. Finding Jack is her second novel.
