Sinossi
Rachel ha un marito, Tom, e due figli. La sua è la famiglia perfetta che ha sempre sognato di avere. Ma tutto è destinato a cambiare in un istante, quando un gesto di Tom annienta la vita che avevano costruito insieme, lasciando Rachel sola fra le macerie a cercare di capire che cosa è successo e soprattutto come continuare a vivere dopo quello che è successo. Claire Gleeson restituisce un primo piano potente su una relazione familiare difficile, sul sentimento di frustrazione che si prova di fronte alla sofferenza di chi si ama, sull'importanza di scavare nei ricordi alla ricerca di quelle piccole incrinature che erano passate inosservate, sulla fatica e il coraggio di sopravvivere a una crisi profonda. Il buio non è per sempre è un romanzo che avvolge il lettore, e che, pagina dopo pagina, lo fa entrare nel cuore e nella mente dei personaggi, nel loro dolore, nella loro luminosa speranza.

And if you can, though your h Leggi tutto

First up: trigger warnings: suicide, attempted suicide, death/murder of young children, child loss/grief, mental health issues and depression. Show Me Where It Hurts is the debut novel by Claire Gleeson and honestly after finishing this book the answer is for me personally is “EVERYWHERE HURTS NOW”. H Leggi tutto
Absolutely loved it! From beginning to end - I was consumed by this thoughtful and accomplished novel. Rachel is a complex character that is vividly depicted that left me feeling devasted at points.
