Incendiary - Chris Cleave

A touching novel, written in the form of a mother's letter to the terrorist responsible for her family's death.

Cleave weaves together, not only the state of the mother writing the letter, but also the whole city she lives in. While the lead character is not perfect, we come to feel for her, as we watch her mental state decay.

In this day and age, we seem to live with the constant threat of terrorism over our heads, and forget what it must be like to those have suffered from it's hand. Cleave has brought it to a level that can be understood by all.

Well written, and poignant. Definitely a worthwhile read.
