Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I am not sure how to classify this book. It is not a mystery that is for sure. It never really goes anywhere and the few times I was "surprised"by something it tended to feel more of a letdown. The writing is fine, it's just that the story really wasn't that interesting. ( ) I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review. I sat down in my reading room last night after finishing a book thinking I would start this one and then pick it up again later. The next thing I knew, I had finished the book. I don't want to say anything much about what kept me going because I don't want to give anything away. I will say I enjoyed this book and I would a) recommend it and b) read more from this author in the future. Author Tina Seskis did a great job of holding my interest all the way through, and much of this is due to the phenomenal narration by Elizabeth Knoweldon and to a lesser extent, Paul Fox, in the audiobook. The "big reveal" at the end, falls flat, however, although it does explain why Emily ran away from her marriage to start a new identity and a new life. Seskis does a disservice to Emily's family members, especially her twin Caroline; hurriedly wrapping up their stories as if she's out of time, insight and paper! In fact, the whole ending has that feeling of wanting to be done with this. Too bad, because I liked this story. Not sure I would recommend it, though, for that reason.
A gripping thriller that will delight fans of the unexpected twist ending “The author reveals Emily’s motivations for leaving her family with great patience and narrative skill… (there is) excellent dramatic pacing, dialogue and prose, culminating in poignant concluding chapters which examine Emily’s decisions without sentimentality. An evocative, skillful novel about the price of escape. Recommended.” Notable Lists
A woman leaves her happy family and home to reinvent herself as a completely different person, with no trace of her former self, working in a hip London ad agency, until a shocking revelation makes her face what she has done. No library descriptions found. |
