![]() ![]() ![]() But this is fiction, so setting that aside, I found that I was quite caught up in the story and in Lucy and Rubi playing detective. Now I have to say that I thought it was quite unlikely that Lucy wouldn’t have called the police given the situation she found herself in. Now she’s going to have to face the real world. For years, she has lived a very subdued life, happy enough to go to work in a bookshop then come home to her cat, her routines and her small flat. When Cassie doesn’t come back after a couple of hours as she promised, Lucy really is floundering and out of her depth. When she reluctantly agrees to look after young Rubi for her next-door neighbour Cassie, Lucy is way out of her comfort zone. What makes Duckling different is the reason that Lucy does just that. I’ve read quite a few books recently where an introverted character has come out their shell – or perhaps being brave enough to leave the nest is more appropriate here. ![]() It takes courage to let the outside world in, and Lucy’s about to learn there’s much more to life – but only if she’s brave enough to spread her wings… When Lucy’s neighbour asks her to look after her little girl for a couple of hours – and then doesn’t come back – Lucy is suddenly responsible for someone other than herself. You might say she’s reluctant to leave her nest. She just isn’t the type to socialise with other people. Duckling’s a nickname Lucy has never been able to shake off.Īnd, if she’s honest, maybe it suits her. ![]()
