It’s always an occasion when there is a new novel by Zoe Folbigg<\/b>! Under One Sky<\/i> was published by Boldwood Books <\/b>on March 4th.<\/span><\/p>\n


From bestseller Zo\u00eb Folbigg comes this beautiful, romantic
\ntale of finding love in the most unexpected places.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Under the midnight sun of Arctic Norway, Cecilie goes online
\nlooking for friends, and stumbles across Hector Herrera. They start chatting
\nand soon realise that they might have just fallen in love. But there\u2019s a
\nproblem: Hector lives thousands of miles away in Mexico. And he’s running from
\na tragic past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cecilie’s whole life has been anchored by sticking to what
\nshe knows and her job at the cafe in the town in which she grew up. Can she
\nreally make a leap of faith for someone she’s never met? And will Hector break
\nfree to change the path he’s on?<\/span><\/p>\n

An unforgettable story about two people, living two very
\ndifferent lives under the same sky, and whether they can cross oceans, seas and
\nfjords to give their love a chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note this novel was originally published with the
\ntitle The Distance.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


Cecilie and Hector are like ice and fire. Cecilie’s home in Norway in Tromso, in the Arctic Circle is cold and lacking sunlight for much of the year. Meanwhile, Hector’s life in Mexico is hot and sunny, the polar opposite. They meet accidentally on line and are drawn to each other. However, outside the bubble of their chats, their real life and relationships get in the way.\u00a0 The story goes back and forward through their friendship, showing you the story from both points of view.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 There is also a third character, living in the UK, Kate, who is older but who we discover met Hector years ago and had a relationship. Her homelife is difficult with a husband who is preoccupied and who she suspects is drifting away from their marriage. Her children are growing up but she tries to fill her days with PTA school stuff and feels overworked and stressed for most of the time, feeling like an outsider from the other parents.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 I did find it quite hard to warm to Hector for most of the story although I’m not too sure why. In addition to his handsome looks and charm, he has retained a link with the children’s refuge which helped him when he was younger. Cecilie has had a privileged upbringing by her high flying Mother but you sense that she has missed out on family elements, although she has had a close relationship with her twin. She has protected herself by keeping her interests\u00a0 close to home and her friendship group small.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 It seems that all three characters need to get the courage to make a leap of faith and to step outside their comfort zones. When they do, there are surprising results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short take a leap of faith
