The Secret by Kathryn Hughes
4.0
I have to say that this isn't the usual kind of book I would be drawn to, but I was fortunate enough to win a copy from Headline Review on Twitter. I'm so pleased that I did as I absolutely loved this book!
The book follows Beth, who has never known who her father was. After her mother's death, she starts to unearth secrets which will rock her family to its very core. The story is told along two timelines - modern-day with Beth, her husband Michael and their 5-year old son Jake, who has end stage liver failure; and flashbacks to 1975 when a group of people were involved in a fatal road crash. As Beth finds out more about her past, the two stories come together in a fantastic story.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and can't thank Headline Review enough for this proof copy. I wouldn't have picked up this book normally, but I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.
