Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-09 00:00:00 Thomas Brown This was an interesting read for me! I read her debut Gallows Wedding years ago, and it's still one of my all time faves! Mango Walk is a very different story, but still follows the same theme of tragic romance, so also very similar! In Mango Walk, Sam's daughter is killed in the blitz, and whilst sat in the wreckage mourning her, he finds a neighbour dead, and her small daughter (the same age as his own) left alone, so he takes her in and raises her as his own, until the day comes when people discover he's not her daughter, attempt to seperate them, but only succeed in fanning the flames of what they fear, as Honey and Sam realise in their seperation that they are in love and cannot bear to be apart. The story follows them from Honey as a small child, right through to her 20's, and as seems to be Martin's style, a tragic ending. Heart breaking, but lovely at the same time, a great read.
