Flamingo Boy

This is a really sweet book about found family, flamingos, and a carousel from the perspective of Kezia as she recalls her childhood during World War Two and tells it to Vincent who finds himself ill during a trip to France.

I found the ending a bit rushed, with the explanation of Alan and the return of the Caporal. I feel it could've been better if just a little longer had been spend on this part of the book after Kezia's story had been finished, especially on Alan, since he was mysteriously referred to earlier in the book. Even Kezia herself spoke about him as an afterthought since she forgot to tell Vincent about him, and had to be prompted by him.

Other than that, this book was wonderful and sweet and I really loved the story about Kezia and Lorenzo.

Wonderfully heartbreaking as always. I always learn from MM & this is no exception. One of my favourite authors of all time who I genuinely don't think can put a foot wrong. Wonderfully compassionate story. Loved it.
