The Secret Keepers Daughter- Samantha King-Psychological literary fiction

Holly lives with her husband and their two children. The older one Marley,

seven, has become rather withdrawn and Holly is trying to find out what is

the root cause of this. Is it that the house is rather a mess as Holly has been

rather busy and at times struggles as she has a heart condition or is

Marley going through something else as she appears to have secrets?

Holly sets up a box where Marley can post her thoughts or worries to see

if she can find out more. Alternate chapters take us back to when Holly

was a child and another girl Amy came to live with them quite suddenly.

The book begins by Holly being taken to hospital remembering everything. 

This is one of those reads that you just have that feeling that there is

something amiss but can't quite put your finger on it. I liked Holly and

felt that she had been put through a lot growing up and even as an

adult was putting everyone else first before her own health. A story of

secrets past and present - some kept for so many years- affecting the

future and of being overheard in part and misconstrued. A clever concept

and one very well put across. A story brilliantly told and one perhaps to

make you think. An engaging read- my first by this author- certainly one to

look out for in the future
