Book 27, Country 31 - Zambia

Hotel Juliet by Belinda Seaward – first published 2008

This book took me weeks to finish but I’m not sure why, as it is a perfectly good story.  It does leap around chronologically from the present day to 20 years ago, which I always find a bit confusing.  Hotel Juliet is an aeroplane, not a place.  Memory Cougan breaks up with her fiancé in London and returns to her birthplace in Zambia to try and find out what happened to her in her early childhood and why she end up living in the UK with her adopted mother Elise.  She stays with Max, owner of Hotel Juliet, who holds the key to the story and all is eventually revealed.  5/10
