We constantly weave in and out of Izzy's two worlds. The one with a husband, children, even a dog. And the quivering wreck of a person that she is now: just holding it together. But for how long? I found the second part of the novel better, much better. There we learn about Izzy's family and home life in much greater detail. Overall, if I'm honest, after all the hype of the cover and the blurb on the inside, it fell short of that terrific read I was expecting.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Quickening by Julie Myerson]].
If this book appeals then we can recommend [[Whatever You Love by Louise Doughty]].
