Deceived by Brenda Burling
5.0
**TW**
Separation of mother and child, illegal activity concerning money
"He had become an object - no longer my husband, but my opponent, someone who has stolen from me and deceived me."
This book was a whole roller-coaster! I started this really late at night after finishing a book previous to this. I told myself "just the first chapter" and then I'll go to sleep. But, this never happened. I read the whole book that night... My eyes were not happy the next day but it was so worth it!
This book was captivating in more ways than one. The main character, Julia and the way her entire life was flipped over in the space of a day had really caught my attention. I felt pity for her, her kids, her husband, her home and her best friend, gone. My goodness, I have no idea how Julia remained so strong, I would have fallen apart.
The style of writing in this book was so easy to flick through and read. The words just flowed together so smoothly. The story was both heartbreaking yet inspirational. It shows just how far a mother's love really goes.
The school teacher in this book had my respect straight away. My she was wonderful! I shed a few tears in that scene with Julia. An absolutely wonderful human being is that teacher!
Brenda Burling has written a beautiful book that will leave the readers in tears, but with a smile upon their faces. A flipping fantastic book! Much better than ever expected!
