Synopsis

A secret lies buried at the heart of her family—but it can’t stay hidden forever.When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards in the attic, their contents make her question everything she thought she knew.The story she pieces together is confusing and unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into Alzheimer’s and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear, though: someone knows more than they’re letting on.Torn between loyalty to her family and dread of what she might find, Cara digs into the early years of her parents’ troubled marriage, hunting down long-lost relatives who might help unravel the mystery. But the picture that begins to emerge is not at all the one she’d expected—because as she soon discovers, lies have a habit of multiplying . . .Revised edition: This edition of Postcards from a Stranger includes editorial revisions.

Unfortunately, this didn’t work for me. I went into the book thinking it would be a breath taking, edge of your seat kind of read but it just wasn’t. I found myself skimming a lot because there was so much unnecessary information. The big reveal wasn’t really anything too awesome and it was complete......more

Goodreads review by Deacon Tom on November 11, 2020

I enjoyed “Post Cards from a Stranger” very much. I absolutely love the way it was written by Imogen Clark.
