Description
I think this is one of the novels great strengths, Lewis uses characters to pose questions to our readers and some of these questions will stick with you for a long time. One Minute Later is an absorbing look at a young woman's journey from health and good fortune to a life she never imagined. I always look forward to a Susan Lewis book, knowing full well to clear my diary as once you start, you won’t be able to put it down.
As it just gets better and better till boom, you have been reading for hours without a drink or anything to eat and you finish feeling wrung out and wondering where you are. Susan Lewis is the internationally bestselling author of more than forty novels as well as two memoirs.It was a scandal at the time because he was her teacher, but they are still married today and have two children now in their thirties. Joely should have scarpered when she had the chance but she too went on to prove how idiotic she could be. So how does Freda know the intimate details of what her brother got up to in Paris or in his uncle’s back garden, unless he told his sister, which would be really creepy.
Their conversations about the memoir lead Joely to pondering many things but none of them would prepare her for where it would lead. She wanted to right the wrongs that had taken place previously as a result of the outcome to the story Joely now transcribes. A real page turner, with so many questions to be answered and secrets to be revealed because as the title of the book suggests, who is telling the truth? I recently read a novel about a schoolgirl and teacher having a sexual relationship which I found to be a really well-written novel so while I was keen to read this particular book I tried to leave some space between so I didn't compare.Everyone in book club finished this book, especially given all the twists and turns we found it hard to put down. The twist that came that threw her whole world into disarray, and left her questioning everything she had ever known? Breathlessly intriguing from the first page to the last, My Lies, Your Lies is an unforgettable novel that intertwines the fascinating past of one mysterious woman to the present of another woman with a harrowing, unexpected twist.
There were so many layers and so many leaps between the past and the present that I had to keep myself alert for the twists and turns. This book ensures that readers come away pondering their own questions and analysing the character choices. Overall, it felt great to read a Susan Lewis book as the author had kept me captivated over the years with her compulsive stories. It carried on being interesting with the introduction of Freda, a formidable elderly woman, virtually living as a recluse in the Valley of Rocks at Dimmett House.I don’t care that it was consensual, or that the teacher was a young man himself, I just cannot support this kind of overview of a relationship of this kind. Can you imagine an abuse survivor stumbling upon this book and reading it only to discover the whole thing serves as a defense of paedophilia?
