About:
She was a daughter, a wife, a mother. She was my friend. But what secrets did Eloise take to her grave?
After her best friend Eloise dies from breast cancer, Cathy is devastated. But then Cathy begins to have disturbing dreams that imply Eloise’s death was not all it seems.
With a history of depression, Cathy is only just recovering from a nervous breakdown and her husband Chris, a psychiatrist, is acutely aware of his wife’s mental frailty. When Cathy tells Chris of her suspicions about Eloise’s death, as well as her ability to sense Eloise’s spirit, Chris thinks she is losing her grip on reality once again.
Stung by her husband’s scepticism, Cathy decides to explores Eloise’s mysterious past, putting herself in danger as she finds herself drawn ever deeper into her friend’s great – and tragic – secret.
My Review:
What a strange story, we never really know Eloise only her voice from the dead. It is compelling and you want to keep turning the pages to know the outcome. As a reader I never once doubted Cathy’s visions but her husbands dismissal was a little annoying.
Eloise’s mother wasn’t the most warming of characters and Eloise’s husband Ted came across at the start as the most attentive and loving husband. I was starting to think of Chris, Cathy’s husband as the bad guy and couldn’t see how they could work through the issues the marriage was hitting because of his belligerent attitude.
It seem a bit far fetched to put others children before your own because of a voice that only Cathy could hear. I enjoyed it but not as much as I expected too.
