Book Description
Your past will devastate your family. But your lies could destroy them. What would YOU do?
 

Sometimes a lie can split your life in two. There is “before”, and there is “after”. Try as you might – you can never go back. 

When Lydia was a teenager, she made a decision that ruined her family’s life. They’ve spent the last thirty years living with the consequences and doing their best to pretend it never happened. 

Lydia’s husband, the gorgeous and reliable Mark, and her two teenage children know nothing about that summer back in 1982. And that’s the way Lydia wants it to stay. The opportunity to come clean is long gone and now it’s not the lie that matters, it’s the betrayal of hiding the truth for so long. 

When someone from the past turns up as a parent at the school gates, Lydia feels the life she has worked so hard to build slipping through her fingers. The more desperate she becomes to safeguard her family, the more erratic her behaviour becomes. But when the happiness of her own teenage son,Jamie, hangs in the balance, Lydia is forced to make some impossible decisions. Can she protect him and still keep her own secret – and if she doesn’t, will her marriage and family survive? ​

5/5

I've just finished reading this book and I start off by saying that I absolutely loved it and that even though this is the first book I've read by this author, Kerry Fisher goes straight away to my 'most favourite authors' list.

"We all make mistakes, pet. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to pay a high price to put them right."

The story starts in 1982 when Sally is a teenager. She tells a lie to her parents and foolishly makes a very, very stupid mistake which will have serious consequences. Consequences that will change her and her family's life for ever... 

"You can't go into a marriage without total honesty, can you?"

Now, thirty years later, Sally is called Lydia and lives in another town. She is married to Mark and has two kids. No one knows of her terrible secret (except her parents), not even her husband. But one day, out of the blue, the past catches up with the present - a person who knows what Sally did resurfaces. Now Lydia is terrified that the terrible secret she has worked so hard to conceal and which she never found enough courage to disclose to her husband, could be exposed with even more terrible consequences. 

She has to do something, however in her frustrations, Lydia ends up making another even more terrible mistake, a mistake that puts her and her present family on a very slippery slope. 

When you realise you've messed up big time, how easy it is to just turn on the page, forgive yourself and move on? How will Lydia get out of the mess she has got into? Will her marriage survive all the turmoil unleashed? 

I love this author's writing style. Though it is quite a tense book, I found myself cracking loud laughs from time to time... Her style has that humorous edge that gives a break to the tension and makes reading even more enjoyable.

I loved many of the characters, however for various reasons my absolute favourite was Mark - a man who I think every woman dreams of having as husband. 

I liked Lydia a lot too. Having done stupid things in my teenage years (thankfully not as extreme as Sally's) and having a dominant, ultra-negative mother dictating my very existence, I could perfectly relate to Lydia in so many ways. I couldn't judge her for what she did. She was a typical teenager who got into trouble and then later on a typical mother and wife facing the consequences of her mistakes together with all the challenges involved in growing up teenagers.

I wanted to slap hard Lydia's mother on many occasions!!!! But given the circumstances, maybe the way she behaved, was the only way she knew to cope with the enormity of the situation in which she found herself.

And I just LOVED Mable, the naughty family dog. In this book I've seen something unique. The author has given weight to this mad, happy family member almost as much as any of the other human characters. This shows the author's love for her own dog, Poppy on which she says she has based Mable. 
 
Yes, I was touched by this book as it is one continuous roller-coaster of emotions on a very twisty track. It made me reflect on many things like for example how other people around us perceive us, how they think they know us, when in reality deep down we can be or feel so much different. I loved the many twists planted by the author throughout especially the shocking final revelation. Ehh... Lydia Lydia!!

I highly recommend this fabulous book and will certainly be looking out for others penned by Kerry Fisher.

With many thanks to Bookouture for approving my request to read this book through Netgalley.

5/5

First an apology to author Jan Ruth for taking so long to read this book. It has been waiting to be read in my kindle for many months.

This is a book with complex family dynamics at its centre and for me, it served as a pleasant break from the murders, blood and gore I usually find in the books I read. 

Al's life is in tatters. His financial status, his love life and his family relationships are all in a desperate situation. After a bitter separation, his house has been sold, and not having anywhere else to go he returns to his childhood's farmhouse - Chathall, with his new young girlfriend Jo in tow.

"We were all right until he came back."

But at the farm lives his estranged brother George (with whom he had a massive falling out fifteen years previously) and his family - wife Fran and daughter Becca - together with a thousand or so animals. Needless to say, George is not impressed by his brother's sudden reappearance, but Al has no intention of leaving the place, after all he's the owner of the ramshackle farm as much as his brother is. Fran and Becca, on the other hand, welcome him with open arms.

After a full year grieving her husband's death, Kate finally decides to move on with her life. She goes to spend some days with her sister-in-law, Fran at Chathall farm. There she meets Al for the first time and he's immediately transfixed by the red-haired beauty. But Jo is there with him. Soon Kate finds herself in the middle of a rapidly deteriorating situation. She realises that unknowingly she'd turned up right in the middle of a family crisis. 

Why did Al's return stir up so much tension in the farmhouse? Why is George so angry with his brother? What happened fifteen years before? What's the big secret at the heart of the story?

This novel is essentially a love story with a lot of tension, heartache, regrets and twists. It is full of very realistic, flawed, mature characters. I felt as if I've known these persons all my life. With the exception of a couple, I liked them all, especially Al and Kate. Even though at times there was a lot of tension, frequent squabbles and skeletons falling out of wardrobes, I felt part of that family and welcomed at Chathall farm just the same.

I loved the setting of the book. Through her vivid descriptions, the author took me to Snowdonia, a place with unrivaled natural beauty that I now dream to visit one day. I also loved the homely feeling of the crumbling farmhouse, overstaffed with animals, people and junk and clutter lying around everywhere. 

I really liked the ending of this book and when I finished it, I felt as if I have lost a bunch of good old friends and I miss them all already!

This was my first book by Jan Ruth and it certainly won't be my last. Though it is not of the genre I usually go for I have to say that I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

About the Author

The Real Book Thief - Ingrid Black

23/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
In October 2015, crime writer Ingrid Black discovered that her first novel The Dead, the story of a former FBI agent tracking down a serial killer in Dublin, had been plagiarised and was being sold under a different name by another author on Kindle. 

The thief's name was Joanne Clancy, a former Kindle All Star, and the book that she called Tear Drop was No 1 in the Irish crime fiction charts at the time. Not only that, but she had a second book scheduled for release in a few weeks time, and that one turned out to be a carbon copy of Ingrid Black's second book about the same character, The Dark Eye. The Real Book Thief tells the story of how Ingrid Black discovered what had happened and how she went about trying to find out more about the mysterious woman who had stolen her work.


This is not actually a review of this book, but rather my experience with the same book thief featured in this book.

​In this short ebook 'Ingrid Black', which is the pen name adopted by a couple of Irish authors, explain how they've discovered that the crime thrillers they'd written together with much sacrifice, have been 'stolen' by an author calling herself 'Joanne Clancy', and how they dealt with this whole sorry case. I honestly admire the way they tackled it. I'm not sure I would have been so lenient.

Anyway, I won't go into the details of their story, however I have to write about my experience with this fake author. 'Joanne Clancy' has not only stolen Ingrid Black's work, she has used and betrayed countless readers, reviewers and bloggers like myself. 

I was first contacted by this Joanne Clancy in June 2014 to read and review her book 'Traceless', which I read, enjoyed and reviewed. From then on, seeing that I liked her work, she kept contacting me to read, review and blog about her books. In August 2015 while on holiday in Italy where I had limited Wi-Fi, I received an email from her asking me to copy and paste my reviews of a couple of her books to a combined box set which she had just issued on Amazon, to counteract a 1-star review she had just received on it. I'm always ready to go the extra mile in order to help self-published authors and authors in general to have their work publicised, so even though I had crappy, slow internet connection there I did as she said from my hotel room through my cheap smartphone. 

In October 2015, after having agreed with her, I laid out an author interview so that we could post it on the launch day of her second Elizabeth Ireland book 'Insincere'. She was happy to go ahead and do it and even offered giveaway copies for the occasion. However, when I sent it to her, I immediately got a reply saying that she's awfully sorry and she won't be able to fill up this interview as she's very worried about her sister which has just been diagnosed with cancer. I was of course shocked by her reply, to which I replied by saying of course I don't mind, this interview can wait, the sister's health takes precedence. After a few days I realised that all her books have disappeared from Amazon. I messaged her to see if she's okay and she said that she wishes to take a step back at the moment as she has to deal with her sister's illness which has deeply affected her. Last Christmas I've even messaged her with my best wishes and told her that when she decides to come back to the scene I would be happy to keep on supporting her.

Of course, to say that I was shocked when this whole story came out is an understatement. Ingrid Black contacted me on twitter with a link to their story. Now I'm glad that the thief was uncovered and stopped from doing further damage. However I feel hurt and insecure because I had supported this author in any way possible and now I know that anyone can repeat what this person did. The sad reality is that I can never be absolutely sure whether an author approaching me to read and review their books is sending me their own or someone else's stolen work. 

This shocking story has deeply affected me and is a bitter experience that will be difficult to forget.

5/5

​Hauntingly beautiful...


Caroline Mitchell, author of the fantastic DC Jennifer Knight series, has once again penned a riveting, atmospheric page-turner. 'The Silent Twin' does not only 'possess' an attractive cover on the outside... what's inside is as bewitching! Though it is the third in the series, this book can be read as a standalone. 

The disappearance of a child... every parent's worst nightmare.

This is the terrible reality facing Nick and Joanna. Abigail, one of their nine-year-old twin daughters vanishes into thin air while playing with her sister Olivia in a field near their farm. Olivia, has been spooked by something and hasn't uttered a word since her sister's disappearance. I don't even want to imagine myself in such a horrible situation.

"...gloom descended as she walked towards the old grey farmhouse."

DC Jennifer Knight is sent to their residence, Blackwater farm, to act as Family Liaison Officer and to investigate this disappearance. The dilapidated house is set in a remote area and a strong negative energy can be felt within its walls. 

As hours turn into days, Jennifer's and the family's frustration intensifies. You can actually feel the sense of urgency and desperation consuming Jennifer and the other characters in finding Abigail before it's too late. I was so drawn in the story that I felt very anxious for news about Abigail as much as her family did. I wanted to help find this girl too, but the author held fast to the truth and left me clueless till the end. Where is Abigail? What happened to her?

"Why haven't you found me?"

In her psyche, Jennifer could pick up Abigail's desperate pleas. These gave me goosebumps and I could feel the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end. 

This book is full of suspense and intrigue. All characters hide terrible secrets and act suspiciously: Radcliffe, Nick, Joanna, and even Olivia didn't convince me with her muted silence. I found myself biting my nails as page after page lies and secrets are revealed. And the past comes back with full force to haunt the family. 
​
"It's like the house is alive..."

This book is also very atmospheric. You can almost feel the oppressive dark force that's lurking inside the house and as the wind howled outside Blackwater farm I could vividly imagine the bleak atmosphere in the surrounding fields. 

Is the girl alive somewhere or has she passed on to the other side? Has someone or something hurt her or was she the victim of some terrible accident in the dangerous, wild surroundings? And what did Olivia see? Will Jennifer be able to solve this mystery by the end? And who's writing the diary?

This book kept me engrossed from the first to the last page and I couldn't read it fast enough. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it to all those loving a tense and compelling mystery with an unearthly twist.

An Italian merchant who has travelled far and wide, Niccolo has brought spices from India, lengths of silk and damask from the lands east of India and porcelain; a vase of pure white, its surface decorated with a cobalt blue dragon, the Chinese symbol of good fortune.

4/5

Debbie Rix's second book, 'Daughters of the Silk Road' takes historical fiction fanatics like me on a spellbinding, epic journey spanning centuries, across countries, continents and vast perilous oceans, following the history of a special family heirloom - a precious Ming vase.

"Family tradition has it that the vase brings good fortune to its custodian."

The story starts in the present day. Miranda has just inherited a box of old knick-knacks from her great-aunt. Among the items is an old porcelain vase with a blue dragon painted on which she puts to good use as a flower holder. She is simply oblivious of all the people, all the lives that have been touched by this vase through its long history...

The author then takes us back in time to the 15th century where we meet Italian merchant and explorer Niccolo dei Conti and his family travelling back from 'the land of Further India' (as China was known back then), to his hometown of Venice. He is bringing back a precious cargo of spices, porcelains and silks. He is also delivering gifts donated by the Chinese Emperor to the Doge of Venice, among which is a precious porcelain vase decorated (according to Chinese tradition) with the most powerful of all symbols - the dragon.

And from here starts the long history of the vase, as it is handed down through generations of mercantile families, from mother to daughter, witnessing births, deaths, love, passions, heartaches, jealousy, betrayals and tragedies.

It is obvious that extensive research was required in order to write this book. In fact I think this story will mostly appeal to those loving tales with a great deal of historical facts in them. The author uses many historical characters that have really existed, together with others that are purely fictional. 

The past is vividly brought back to life in great detail and in full colour, from the food they ate to the clothes they wore. I could clearly imagine the fish market bustling with life or the merchants bartering and arguing over the cost of goods. Locations and homes are also vividly described. Having been to Venice myself it was as though I was back in the famous Piazza San Marco or on the Rialto Bridge. But Venice is just the starting point of this great journey.

Even though the story alternates between the past and the present I never found this confusing. However, as the story moves forward through time we find many characters that are mentioned only briefly. And as the family tree grows and more descendants are added to it, one has to remember how the characters are related to each other. 

However having said that, I really enjoyed reading this magnificent story. It kept me interested to the end and made me dream about these characters and my own ancestors. How different life must have been back then!

With thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for approving my request to read and review this book.

A Mother's Secret - Renita D'Silva

Book Description
What if you discovered that everything you knew about yourself was a lie?

When pregnant Jaya loses her mother, then her baby son Arun in a tragic cot death, her world crashes down. Overcome by grief and guilt, she begins to search for answers – to the enigma of her lonely, distant mother, and her mysterious past in India. 

Looking through her mother’s belongings, she finds two diaries and old photographs, carrying the smoky aroma of fire. A young boy smiles out at Jaya from every photograph – and in one, a family stand proudly in front of a sprawling mansion. Who is this child? And why did her mother treasure this memento of a regal family lost to the past? 

As Jaya starts to read the diaries, their secrets lead her back to India, to the ruin of a once grand house on a hill. There, Kali, a mad old lady, will unlock the story of a devastating lie and a fire that tore a family apart. 


Nothing though will prepare Jaya for the house’s final revelation, which will change everything Jaya knew about herself.

A fountain of emotions...

A Mother's Secret is a beautiful tale of love and passion, deceit and lies, secrets and memories. It is about the decisions we take in life and their consequences on ourselves and on those around us.

Every time I read a book by Renita D'Silva, I feel as though I'm transported through time, to faraway locations, dreaming with my eyes open. I also always learn new things about Indian culture and traditions.

In this book, we encounter some very strong, determined female characters - much stronger than their male counterparts actually. At times, these women made me love and admire them, at others I felt I almost hated them, but then I would imagine myself in their shoes, and end up wanting to hug them tightly to me again.

A madwoman... A cursed mansion...

Following a tragic accident, young Durga is sent to live with her 'ajji' or grandmother in a huge, ruined mansion. There lives Kali too, the old madwoman everyone fears. This woman was once a happy girl, a ruthless mistress of the house, so what made her lose her mind?

"... her mother a sealed chest of secrets, Jaya had never managed unlock."

Riddled by guilt and grief, Jaya is trying to come to terms with the loss of her mother Sudha. Jaya had never known her father and has always resented her mother's silence on his identity and on her past. Why did Sudha never divulge his identity? Who is/was he? Why aren't there any photos in their house of Jaya's father or of Jaya's first years? Who was really Sudha? Why did she shut the door on her past and never opened it again?

But now Jaya has found her mother's diaries and hopes that through her mother's writing, she could solve the riddle that was her enigmatic mother. What will she discover? What surprises will there be waiting for her? Will her questions be finally answered?

Renita D'Silva's rich and poetic prose makes reading an incredibly joyful experience. She has the ability to vividly paint scenes and describe feelings through an explosion of colours, smells and tastes that make you long to be there in the story. In Ms D'Silva's books, feelings have smells and voices have colours.

"The air that brushes Jaya's cheeks is the crushed mauve of regret, flavoured with the deep gold of yearning."

"A gentle voice, like the raindrop-jewelled breeze caressing the tops of mango trees."​

"The darkness is syrupy brown, molasses thick."


I highly recommend this wonderful, emotive tale. It kept me engrossed till the end and I even missed my daily walk in order to finish it as I was desperate to find out what was this Mother's Secret.
