For reading groups and lovers of emotionally arresting fiction: the story of a woman forced to rebuild her life after in one explosive moment her husband destroys everything they've built together.
'A searingly beautiful novel'
Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
'Outstanding, and has lingered in my head for a very long time'
Prima
How do you survive the unsurvivable?
Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it's the ordinary family life she always thought she'd have. All of that changes in an instant - when Tom runs the family car off the road, seeking to end his own life, and take his wife and children with him. Rachel is left to pore over the wreckage to try and understand what happened - to 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.
Impossible to turn away from, Show Me Where It Hurts is a compelling, heartbreaking and ultimately life-affirming story of recovery and unexpected hope.
Praise for Show Me Where It Hurts: 'A searingly beautiful novel' Jennie Godfrey
-
This story of a woman's survival after the worst has happened, makes for a searingly beautiful novel. Stunningly crafted, with complex and shocking themes that are never shied away from, I found myself profoundly moved while frequently thinking about the characters when not reading it. This is a novel that lingers.
-
This thoughtful and imaginative debut glows with emotional insight and heft. It tackles a difficult and rarely-discussed subject in an engaging, clear-slighted and highly readable way.
-
With gentle and lulling prose, Show Me Where It Hurts is exceptional in its exploration of the grief and recovery from something unthinkable. This is simply an exquisite novel.
