“The problem is that a secret takes on a life of its own over time.”
Summary:
When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for three strangers it’s impossible to ignore.
For one woman, it’s a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened to her.
For another, it reveals the dangerous possibility that her darkest secret is about to be discovered.
And for the third, a journalist, it’s the first clue in a hunt to uncover the truth.
The Child’s story will be told.
“People say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. They say that when you been through something terrible … But it doesn’t. It breaks your bones, leaving everything splintered and held together with grubby bandages and yellowing sticky tape. Creaking along the fault lines, Fragile and exhausting to hold together. Sometimes you wish it had killed you.”
Our Review…
Omg!! This book!! Fiona Barton has done such an amazing job with The Child. There were many twists and turns that were just mind blowing! The plot was organized in such a neat yet tangled web. Once we started this book we could not stop until the last page turn! When we did turn the last page, we wished for more!
We loved this book so much we can’t wait to read more from this author!
