She’s Mine - A. A. Chaudhuri
Ooh this is juicy!
A child that has gone missing never to be found, wreaking havoc through peoples lives. There is blame everywhere, especially of Christine, who lost sight of her daughter whilst trying to speak to her lover.
We get inside the heads of the people involved in this story. Christine who shut down and blamed herself now seeking psychiatric help again. Greg her husband who hates her for losing their child and now spends time shagging Amber his young lover. Then their friends Janine and Miranda and their kids Ellie and Daniel who can’t stand their mother, who never loved them. Then there’s Dr Cousins the Psychiatrist, cool and professional - well we have a brilliant set up.
With short sharp chapters alternating along timelines and through the different characters heads we start to unravel what has happened.
There is a creeping sense of tension and it transpires early on that Heidi is still alive and wanting revenge, or is she?- is it her? Who held her and brought her up as her ‘mother’? There are so many clues drip fed through this to keep you hooked, I just couldn’t put it down - so cleverly done!
No one seems to be able to tell the truth, so many twisting secrets we go from one unreliable narrator to many!
I felt myself constantly questioning what I thought and changing my mind about who Heidi could be and who her ‘mother’ was. You are inside their heads and they mess with your mind! There are quite a lot of double standards going on and ultimately the characters are very selfish individuals. It is full of dark obsession, manipulation and deceit, it’s fabulous and will have you gripped until the very end!
