Author:Liz Nugent
This is Liz Nugent’s sixth novel, the preceding five titles all being award winners, so no pressure then! I’m pleased to predict though that she’s certainly in line to make it six out of six with this excellent new title. It’s another dark and deeply disturbing tale of a dysfunctional family, set between the USA and Eire. Ruby Cooper and her sister seem to have an idyllic life until a cruel incident fractures their world and causes the family to implode, with the aftershocks reverberating down the generations for years to come. Even decades later, the wave of destruction continues to affect all their lives, but it seems inevitable that the truth and its long hidden dark secrets will eventually be dragged into the harsh glare of daylight, and then the inevitable consequences will be unleashed for both innocent and guilty alike. Despite the subject matter, I really enjoyed this book, but be warned this unsettling, compelling tale of a damaged individual will totally ensnare you in its tangled web for the entire duration. Another distinctive and unique novel from this outstanding writer!
