Book Synopsis:
A lifetime of love. Six months of silence. One last chance.
Frank hasn’t spoken to his wife Maggie for six months.
For weeks they have lived under the same roof, slept in the same bed and eaten at the same table – all without words.
Maggie has plenty of ideas as to why her husband has gone quiet, but it will take another heartbreaking turn of events before Frank finally starts to unravel the secrets that have silenced him.
Is this where their story ends?
Or is it where it begins?
With characters that will capture your heart, THE SILENT TREATMENT celebrates the phenomenal power of love and the importance of leaving nothing unsaid.
The Silent Treatment will be published in ebook and hardback on the 2nd April 2020. You can purchase your copy using the link below.
My Review:
The Silent Treatment was a beautifully written story about love, sadness and secrets which somehow manages to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
Maggie’s story really resonated with me as I know very well how your relationship changes as the years go on and how having children can affect the relationship you had with your husband. Suddenly you have all these little people who need you in order to survive and this often means that your husband gets sidelined. I therefore really felt for Maggie and how she was feeling.
The story is told by both Maggie and Frank so that the reader gets to hear the story from both points of view. My favourite part of this was Frank’s story as I loved that he was telling us what was going on at the same time as explaining himself to Maggie. This intimate glimpse into their relationship was really affectively done and meant that I felt everything they were going through like it was happening to me.
I so enjoyed this wonderful book and felt very sad when I finished it as the characters had started to feel like they were old friends. The message in this book was a beautiful one, that you shouldn’t hold off telling someone how you feel as you never know what’s going to happen.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Georgina from Midas publicity for my copy of this book.
