The Betrayals
Autor Fiona Neillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 aug 2017
None of them would forget that week on the wild Norfolk coast.
Best friends Rosie and Lisa's families had always been inseparable.
But that summer, Lisa had an affair with Rosie's husband Nick.
And now, after years of silence, she sends Rosie a letter begging for help. A letter which exposes dark secrets.
Daughter Daisy's fragile hold on reality begins to unravel.
Teenage son Max blames himself for everything that happened that long hot summer.
And Nick must confront his own version of events.
There are four sides to this story. Who will you believe?

PICK,The
Betrayals
A rollicking read that should not be picked up at bedtime, or you'll be done for in terms of a good night's sleep. Neill is brilliant at capturing the wrong turns people make and the consequences that follow
Exquisitely drawn and perfectly realised,no one writes about modern family with more truth and authenticity than Fiona Neill. She nails it every single time
A vivid and insightful portrayal of a family in crisis; Neill's writing is incisive, smart and at times darkly funny.A writer at the top of her game; I will be telling everybody I know about this book
Telling the story of four intriguing family members in the years following an affair and a break-up, the cleverly structured plot revolves around psychology: particularly how people perceive and recall the same events differently.The Betrayalsisthought-provoking and stands out from the crowd
Neill's plotting is beyond compare . . . Weaving an utterly absorbing account of deception and desire, Neill leaves you asking the question: Which voice can you trust?
I thoroughly enjoyed this brilliantly observed novel about a family in meltdown. I have never read anything by Fiona Neill before, but after reading this totally absorbing tale, that is a situation I intend to rectify
Praise forThe Good Girl
Tapping into the issues of the day . . . this is a novel made for heated book club debates
Sometimes touching, sometimes shocking... this cautionary coming-of-age tale is a thought-provoking one
The Good Girlis vivid and insightful, and Neill has a trained eye for the pressures and poignancies of modern family life
Neill writes with verve, honesty and breathtaking insight. Utterly unputdownable
The Good Girlraises all kinds of contemporary issues with wit and sensitivity
Clever, grown-up and totally gripping
A topical, tense and addictive read
The Good Girllooks set to be the nextGone Girl, with its dark compelling exploration of family secrets . . .
Neill takes a light scalpel to online disaster in this exceptional dual-narrative
Two families become embroiled in each other's lives and long buried secrets are unravelled. Contemporary issues are tackled here with both humour and realism, making for an engrossing read
Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before
