Wonderfully tantalising and entirely captivating, the second part of A Place for Us more than lives up to expectations. The day of the party is just around the corner and family members are returning to Winterfold. We are now aware that things aren't as lyrically effortless for the Winter family as their neighbours and friends would believe and significant secrets start to confess and declare themselves. Evans is able to handle a number of key characters with ease, focusing on each in turn and subtly harvesting one moment sympathy and the next frustration as we hear different viewpoints and impressions. The characters all feel so alive and believable, Winterfold could be just across the hill or you could be about to bump into one of the characters on a street corner. The end of part two is just as impactive and compelling as the first, roll on part three!
