A sharp, dramatic and thrilling tale, prepare the edge of your seat as you might be spending some time there! Maggie wakes to living nightmare, her daughter died in the accident that placed Maggie in a coma, her husband has disappeared, and Maggie remembers nothing about the incident. The prologue in Crown Court, immediately sets the scene and encourages intrigue to run amok. The first few chapters, so short, yet so full of tension ensured my brain tasted and tested every word as I read. Nuala Ellwood intricately sews little pieces of information into the pages, just waiting for you to discover them. Letters appear every few chapters, heart-aching moments in time. I existed in two spaces, part of me just reading and thoroughly enjoying the story, the other exploring and examining thoughts and feelings in detail. Day of the Accident slams with impact, gave my brain a huge workout and is a thoroughly captivating read.

Only pick up this book if you have nothing to do for 24 hours. You will hug your child a little bit tighter after reading it. Powerful and compelling writing.
This was a compelling read - do not pick it up unless you have a day free to complete it. I was pulled in immediately due to the fact that so much in it was deeply relatable - I live near the places mentioned, I have woken from a coma with memory loss and I am a mother.
There is abandonment, revenge, deception but, ultimately, love in this story - the lengths you will go to protect and find it. Powerful writing, brilliantly capturing the confusion amnesia causes. There is huge guilt following an accident and grief ebbs and flows through this book. The therapeutic power of the ocean and Nature, combined with the recurring theme of being drowned, both literally and emotionally, make for a dreamlike, strikingly observed novel....
