Silent Child


See customer reviews


The international no. 1 bestselling eBook.

In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned.

His body was never recovered.

Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...

... until Aiden returns.

Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken.

As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?

It's Aiden who has the answers, but he cannot tell the unspeakable.

This dark and disturbing psychological novel is a page-turner you will not be able to put down.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A great example of the genre and highly recommended." -- Kath, Ignite Bookblog



"It will also keep you guessing right till the final few intense chapters. I loved it." -- Gemma, Between The Pages Book Club
"I was glued to every page. Lots of tears and heartache throughout the entire book. Beautifully written from beginning to end." -- Amazon Customer
"I have read many books but I think this one will remain with me for a long time." -- Amazon customer
"Absolutely loved this book! The absolute anguish of a mother losing her child, the desperate emotion of what happened to him and will he ever be normal again, when he returns. The trauma of love and betrayal. The characters were strong and easy to connect with and it had me guessing." -- THE Book Club Reviewer
"I was recommended this book after looking for something similar to The Butterfly Garden. From the very outset I was absorbed into the book and struggled to put it down. It had several twists and turns that kept you guessing, and just when you thought you had the answers, another curve ball was thrown in.I really recommend this and can't wait to read the author's other titles." -- Amazon Customer

The Handmaid's Tale

See customer reviews Product details of  The Handmaid's Tale Now a Hulu Original Series, premiering in April The Handmaid's Tale  is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are ...

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain Amazon Sales Rank: #588776 in eBooks Published on: 2015-02-09 Released on: 2015-02-09 Format: Kindle eBook See Customer reviews, Rating and Buy. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Mark Twain's classic novel,  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Though some of the situations in  Huckleberry Finn  are funny in themselves (the cockeyed Shakespeare production in Chapter 21 leaps instantly to mind), this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself. Describing his brief sojourn with the Widow Douglas after she adopts him, Huck says: "After supper she got out her book and learned me about M...
