Addition by Toni Jordan

Grace Lisa Vandenburg is a powerful, 35 year old woman, but in her own world. Unfortunately what she sees as the norm, others do not. Through leading her life via the counting of numbers, her change in lifestyle has evolved into a déjà vu-like regime.
At one stage, Grace was a well respected teacher of mathematics. That is, until she continuously kept on “totting up the number of children, rather than teaching [them].” Unfortunately, this led her to unemployment and a day-to-day boring scheme of counting and dividing her muffins into respectful pieces to the amount of poppy seeds on her food.
This book addresses so many more themes then just the authority of judging people into categories such as “normal people” and it is this that intrigues the reader into reading more…and more…and more of the book. In saying this, I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone, not just young or old etc, but to someone who just wants a good read. To make this piece of narrative more appealing, it was advertised in the “50 Books You Can’t Put Down” and Sigrid Thorton herself said this book was ‘A stylish, witty and moving love story.’
