From The Review Pile (97)

From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.

The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.

I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!

This week, I'm going to showcase Breaking The Silence!

I would really love to read some books by Diane Chamberlain. As readers of this blog will know, one of my favourite authors is Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain is often hailed as the nearest comparison. I've a couple of Chamberlain's books on my shelves and I would like to read more of them soon. The stories sound very captivating. Although they all sound great, Breaking the Silence sounds like the most intriguing offering to me.

Breaking The Silence by Diane Chamberlain

Paperback, 407 pages

Published 17th December 2010 by Mira 

“My husband shot himself in our bedroom. When I got home, Emma was standing at the bottom of the stairs, screaming.”

Since that awful day, Laura Brandon’s little girl hasn’t uttered a word. When a psychiatrist suggests that Emma won’t talk because she’s terrified of men, Laura is guilt-ridden. To help Emma, she needs to know what unspeakable secret lies behind her husband’s suicide.

Laura thought her family was perfect, but her quest leads her to a shocking truth. For her child’s sake, should her father’s sins be kept silent?

For fans of JODI PICOULT, this is a must read.
