Heartbreaking Novel
Two Boys, Two Families, One Accident… This heartbreaking novel show’s us how adult problems can impact children in a way nobody could forsee.
When Ben has an accident at school which leaves him in a coma nobody could forsee the secrets which would be uncovered around why he fell, least of all his Mother Maddie nor his best friend, Josh’s mother Joanna nor the impact these secrets would have on Josh.
This book explores child mental health, the behaviour of adults, school culpability, and how the actions of adults can be interpreted by children rightly or wrongly.
Told from the dual voices of the two mothers Maddie, and Joanna this novel is hard hitting, and heartbreaking. As the story unfolds and the secrets creep out these poor Mother’s discover things about their children, and each other which will change them forever.
This novel will change it’s readers forever, I am not a parent and I couldn’t help but be deeply moved by this novel. I couldn’t help but feel for each of these Mother’s and their suffering.
Kate Hewitt has created a novel which is overwrought with emotion and will break your heart.
