What Lies Between Us by Nayomi Munaweera

4.0

Wow! This adult fiction and diverse psychological thriller was way better than I anticipated! This book travels through our MC’s childhood into her adult years and concludes with a very surprising epilogue. I found some pieces of this book slightly peculiar and it had me really thinking. I am a young adult and have not yet experienced adulthood, nevertheless motherhood, so this novel had me question how deeply a mother’s love for her children runs. That connection through the eyes of this novel showed that it was like a telepathic bond where the mother just knows. It almost scares me in a way because it is almost as if children are pets or clay and need to be a certain shape or have to be obedient. This book has a particular innocent quality to it that makes me pity the MC even though she did some awful and atrocious things, but it was almost as if her demons took over her and she had no control.
