Greg's affinity with the sea provides a refuge from his marriage; Sophie's passion is the night sky as she strives to further understand the stars. Brought together by chance, they begin a love affair that reaches from the sun-bleached sands of the Caribbean and Hawaii; across the Canadian wilderness; to the wind-swept coast of south-west Wales. Compelled by a sense of certainty about one another, Sophie and Greg snatch moments of intimacy from amid the demands of their families and the responsibilities of their scientific disciplines - until life-changing events force them to test the strength of their bond. In charting the difficult choices Greg and Sophie make, A Wonderful Use for Fire explores notions of belonging and sustainability. It is at once a poignant and an uplifting story of love, loss and discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A compelling book,
This review is from: Wonderful Use for Fire (Paperback)
Ms Gabriel writes a compelling story, and clearly has done her research. This is the sort of book you'll want to stoke up the fire for, and have an afternoon and evening free to read. Her story is wide-ranging and weaves together the lives of her characters in a fascinating way. Highly recommended.
