The Dazzling Truth by Helen Cullen

3.0

The Dazzling Truth is a journey, and not an easy one. It's beautifully written, which goes a long way toward getting through to the end because it hits on some darkness. I found the blurb to be a bit misleading - not necessarily on purpose, but I didn't quite expect what I found. That's not a bad thing, but for me, it was a difficult process while dealing with my own loss as well as the worry of the circumstances we all find ourselves in with a global pandemic. That's not to say that I didn't get caught up in the story and its characters because I certainly did. I will say that this one feels all too real, so if you're looking for an easy read for a bit of escapism, you won't find that here. Helen Cullen has written an emotional story of love, loss, and family that spans decades. It's the type of story that gets you right in the feels, the kind that you won't soon forget, but be prepared for the journey because it isn't an easy one.
