No One Saw It Coming: The gripping thought-provoking emotional family drama from Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation. I felt like I was watching the weekly episodes of a 70s soap opera, and I pictured them hitting their marks and swanning off to the next scene. He was, at heart, a despicable man and yet I have little difficulty imagining how terrible his loss must be for Hanna. Part 1 was a bit slow moving for me, but there was a nice zinger at the end to get me intrigued for part 2. As usual in my reviews, I will not rehash the publisher's synopsis, but instead recommend that you read this for yourself!

It was only in the last 15% of the book that my interest was peaked and I was engaged with what was happening to the characters and that I felt the pace picked up. You also get occasional chapters from Blanche, who is initially not connected to the story until the author ties everything together. The characterisation is excellent, although none of the characters are particularly likeable, and I didn’t connect or warm to any of them.It kept me very entertained and I whizzed through it so it gets a good rating, but would I recommend it?

With realistic, well-constructed, though not necessarily likeable characters this is another winner from the pen of Susan Lewis.For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.
