BOOK REVIEW OF THE BONFIRE BUDDLEIA BY JO BAVINGTON-JONES

PUBLISHED BY HUT 22 BOOKS ON THE 3RD MARCH 2025

An emotional look at three sisters’ lives as they come to terms with their past as children and the effect their childhood had on each of them. The neighbour from their childhood home dies, opening the vault of secrets for all three sisters. Can they come to terms with all this, but what are they going to do about it? This kept me turning those pages all day; you can almost feel the emotions pouring out from the pages. Very well written plus a truly wonderful story written by our local author in Folkestone.

Another great story from Jo to add to her collection, and now all published by her own publishing company, Hut 22 Books. Look out for her next book called Wipeout, a follow-on from The Write Way to Die and Bang to Rights. I will be reviewing this at the end of the month.

Jo Bavington-Jones was born in Dover in 1967, where her father owned the local newspaper. Jo has an Honours Degree in English and American Literature from the University of Kent at Canterbury, and is the author of five other novels: Lucy Shaw’s Not Sure, Lucy Shaw Wants More, A Giraffe Thing, The Write Way to Die, and Bang to Rights. Jo now lives on the Kent coast with her photographer partner.
