LoveReading Says
My advice is to step off the cliff edge of suspense and just let yourself go in this dramatic tale. Anonymous letters begin to arrive for Eli who is seven months pregnant, and her life as she knows it changes forever. Each chapter is headed by a name, each woman tells her own story… discloses, explains, justifies. The first sentence arrives with a punch, I was immediately hooked and my mind started to examine my thoughts as each word landed. Claire Allan writes with immense compassion, harmful intentions and deeds were balanced by an appreciation that the darkness is composed of all shades of light. Information was slowly exposed, adding to the tension and then there was that specific moment in time when all stopped as I realised what was happening. The additional knowledge cranked up the suspense and I sat wanting to read faster and faster yet soak up each sentence. Clever, sharply edged and provocative Apple of My Eye also succeeds in being highly entertaining, resulting in a thrilling read.
