review 1: After the fall is a book that surprised me. I prefer reading crime thrillers, but upon recommendation through my book club I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. The story takes about a 120 pages to get there, and is definitely not a quick read. But once you get there you can't put it down. Martha and her family emigrates to New Zealand from England for financial survival which would also hopefully sober her alcoholic husband up. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters of the 5 year old twins. She portrayed the character of the teenage daughter so well that I actually find myself hating Sacha. I could identify with a lot of the trials and tribulations. The mother is confronted with a moral dilemma that I myself don't know what I would do if I were in her shoes. One side ... moreof me would have liked to see a different ending for Sacha, but then again I have an unforgiving heart. This book will stay with me for a while.
review 2: Very very good. Kept me intrigued until the very last page. The book begins with a mother, Martha, huddled over her unconscious 6 year old son Finn, who has fallen from their house balcony in New Zealand, she then goes back approximately a year or so to how they had reached that point. Was it an accident?? The switching between past and present is well dine and not confusing as can be the case at times. What lengths would you go to to protect your family and how would you put the welfare of one member of that family before another? less
