Strange Children Book

Tessa has but one dream in life: to be a homemaker. So, when Tessa's adored boyfriend, Ian, betrays her and marries Amanda, it's little wonder that vulnerable Tessa falls straight into the arms of Rob, who used to belong to Amanda.While the warning bells might be ringing loudly for the reader by the end of the first chapter, Tessa is not a woman who dwells on the negative. She comes from a cold and motherless background and, as a result, is desperate for love and naïve to the realities of marriage.In fact, Tessa has stumbled into a veritable mire of deception. Her attempts to make contact with her mother-in-law, Linda Nicholls, are thwarted when she is found murdered. Curiously, Rob is unable to grieve. It's only when Tessa probes Linda's history that she begins to realise the extraordinary nature of Rob's childhood. Aptly named, Strange Children is a gently-paced thriller, where a bizarre psychological condition challenges set, old-fashioned values.-- Elizabeth McGregorRead More
