Welcome to my blog tour for The Birth Mother which is been hosted by Bookouture
The Birth Mother
Wendy Clarke
First off a big thank you to Bookouture, the author Wendy Clarke, and to Netgalley for the invite to read The Birth Mother, because up until now I had no idea Wendy Clarke was coming out with a new book, and second this one turns out to be the second book of hers I've read so it lets me give her a second try and I'm glad I day, because for a psychological thriller it comes off a bit different, one is the pacing,it's a little slow but surprisingly that works because it sets up the atmosphere of the book , not only from the first page but though out it, second is those something about the way this story is told in the different timeline/ perspectives that help play an important part in the way it's told as well as making it feel even more creepy and enhanced, mixed that in with the atmosphere of the story and you have a book that will keep you on your edge of your set.
How far will she go to get her child back?
I walk through the beautiful house, my hand lingering on the handrail of the polished mahogany staircase. Looking around the grand hallway, I can’t believe my luck at being here. If Rosemary knew who I was, she’d never have invited me in.
Ten years ago, she adopted my daughter. Gave her the life I never could: safety, stability, a normal childhood.
All I wanted to do was catch a glimpse of my precious girl, to check she was happy. I would only have stayed for a moment. I would never have done anything.
But as I spot Faith’s rich auburn hair and whisper a hello, Rosemary tells me she’s mute. She hasn’t said a word in almost a year.
And I know I cannot leave this house. Behind closed doors this perfect family is hiding dark secrets, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my daughter…
Wendy Clarke was a teacher until the small primary school where she worked closed down. Now she is a writer of psychological suspense but is also well known for her short stories and serials which regularly appear in national women’s magazines.
Wendy has two children and three step-children and lives with her husband, cat and step-dog in Sussex. When not writing, she is usually indulging in her passion for dancing, singing or watching any programme that involves food!
