MY REVIEW OF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS
Daughter by Jane Shemilt, was one of my favourite books that I read, back in 2014. Richard and Judy even loved it as they had this book as their book club choice.
As a mother with two very grown-up daughters, one in their 30’s and the other who celebrated becoming 40 this year, I never stop worrying about them. The fear of a child going missing or a teenager is set deep inside every mother.Jane Shemilt, has touched the hearts of all mothers and all of her readers.
This is a very haunting story of every mothers nightmare, the disappearance of a child. Jenny’s daughter goes missing one night after a theatre rehearsal. Jenny is a busy doctor working flat out at daily surgeries and helping out with routine antenatal clinics. Jenny soon discovers the Naomi keeps had a diary and she soon unearths some very revealing accounts.
What seems to be a simple abduction soon turns into something far more complicated complex and baffling.
I can honestly say that all you readers will love every page as much as I did with lots of twists in, that you just don’t know is coming.
This is what makes Daughter by Jane Shemilt a favourite book of mine, with twists in that I can’t guess what’s going to happen next, where I keep turning the pages to find out what’s going to happen.
