All the while, 'The Butterfly Heart' never becomes burdensome. While the story deals with difficult, even impossible circumstances, it is not at all didactic or heavy-going. The drawing of the storyline is seamless. Leyden paints a picture of the textural beauty of Africa, and the richness of the people who inhabit it. The descriptive quality is exquisite without being overly laboured. With genuine humour and warmth throughout, 'The Butterfly Heart' compels the reader gently and quietly forward to a very satisfying ending. It is, quite simply, beautiful. A book to be loved and pondered over with tenderness.
If this book appeals then we think that you might appreciate [[My Name is Rose by Sally Grindley]] and [[The Sleeping Baobab Tree by Paula Leyden]].
