fionayule 's review for:
A Version of the Truth
by B.P. Walter
This book has no bearing on the cover which has left me perplexed.
However, I really did enjoy this book.
The novel has a dual timeline between the present day and Oxford University in the 1990's. In present day Julianne's son Stephen finds something in the family Dropbox account which will change their life. It appears James, Julianne's husband and Stephen's father, has accidently transferred the document in there.
In the 1990s Holly is an Oxford freshman who is 'adopted' by the higher echelons, She falls for James, but James is going out with Julianne. What follows can be at times a disturbing read. There is lots of graphic sex that may not appeal to every reader, but its necessary as the central theme is rape as a form of power.
The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 as I felt he ending was a bit quick, and would have liked less time spent in Oxford and more time on the villains getting their comeuppance. Is there a second novel coming out I wonder?
