Secrets by Lesley PearseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Honour is my favourite fictional granny!
A bit predictable but enjoyable.
The twelve years old Adele is sent to a caring house after her witnessing the death of her eight years old sister in a car accident, her mother lost control and tried to kill Adele and her father. Her father abandoned them then and Adele went to Mr. Makepeace's house.
Mr.Makepeace tried to rape her, so Adele ran away to her grandmother and lived there. She met that incredible boy Michael Bailey and became friends with him until they fall in love with each other. Her mother returned and the WWII began and things started to change drastically.
I really enjoyed this story and the audiobook and I continued to reading it because it was such an easy read.
I could predict some stuff but others were shocking. Adele was sometimes a little bit annoying.
This novel discuss child rape in foster houses and post-partum depression and the drawbacks of war on people, social classes and economy, so it's a heavy story although being romantic.
I loved it and definitely recommend it.
