Review
It’s the story of a couple from the beginning of love to the collapse. From the perspective and narration of the wife, we can follow the events, we have to believe that what she feels and what she thinks is real, that her actions have meaning and reason. While we suspect that it’s not the reality we see, that there’s a twist in the story that makes it understandable. I say, we know this, just like when on the front pages of a crime we already know who the killer is, but we continue to read the book because we are curious about what led to the murder being committed. In this novel, too, we know what’s behind the events, the exciting way to find out what are the reasons that lead to the collapse. This road is excruciating, long and dark. For us, too, it’s a bit long, we often feel it is repetitive and a little boring. Yet, every word and sentence is needed to know the loneliness and darkness of Evette’s soul. I read the book overnight, which means it’s almost impossible to put it down. Still, I’m not saying the book is perfect or that I’m completely happy with the story. Maybe not because we also need to see and know the other side, the husband’s thoughts and the reasons for his actions, to get a full picture of what is happening. That’s why I’m looking forward to the author’s next book, which is the story of John, the husband.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Xpresso Book Tour for the opportunity to read the book.
