I was given an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is another woman’s fiction melodrama incorrectly marketed as a psychological thriller. It’s not even that bad of a book for the genre, but that’s not the genre I want to read. There really isn’t that much in the way of thrills or even psychology. Just a very very maudlin collection of overly-dramatic relationships.

I was gripped by the first page of this book.

The story is told through a fractured narrative from Catherine's point of view. In the present Catherine is experiencing selective mutism and as the story unravels we ;learn of her tragic past and the events that led to her decision to stop speaking.

Without giving too much away, this tragic love story is an absolute must read and will stay with you long after you have read the final word..
