‘This story of a woman’s survival after the worst has happened, makes for a searingly beautiful novel.’
Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
‘Exceptional . . . simply an exquisite novel’
Anne Griffin, author of When All Is Said
How do you survive the unsurvivable?
Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it’s the comfortable family life she always thought she’d have. All of that changes in an instant – when one action by Tom destroys the life they’ve built, leaving Rachel to pore over the wreckage to try and understand what happened, to try and find a way to go on living afterwards.
What emerges is a snapshot of what it’s like to live alongside someone who is suffering, how you keep yourself afloat when the person you love is drowning – and how you survive irreparable loss.
Show Me Where It Hurts is utterly compelling, heartbreaking, and difficult to turn away from.
