April 2018 Book of the Month
The intriguing title more than delivers in this entirely captivating read. Three stories belonging to Emma, Stella and Lizzie, fuse together into one. Emma lives life constantly balanced on the edge of fear, 14 year old Stella believes her mum has a secret, while student Lizzie finds herself living in a nightmare. The present is told by Stella and Emma, I felt thoughts, emotions, an intimate connection, while in the past Lizzie is kept at a slight distance. Sanjida Kay gradually releases information, yet there is so much I still didn’t know, I had several flashes of realisation, yet they weren’t the whole, just a part of the story. My mind was taken in unexpected directions, and on occasion my expectations were sliced in half and set on a new path. As the last chapter rushed towards me, then the epilogue concluded, it felt like a strange unsettled calm after a storm, and while the ending may leave some undecided, personally I loved it! ‘My Mother’s Secret’ has the ability to surprise, to worm inside thoughts, to provoke, and I found it a compelling, thoroughly entertaining story.
