This Much is True is hugely enjoyable, with a wonderful twist at the end, that I never saw coming. If you love family dramas and books that explore why people act the way they do, then this is the book for you Brew and Books Review

What I loved most about this book was the characters, particularly Annie herself and the wonderful, terrible Michael who looms over the story like a big black hawk EMMA CURTIS, author of One Little Mistake

This is a very special book and I greatly recommend it! JC, Amazon reviewer

Shades of Joanna Trollope... But it turns into something much more mysterious as we ask: why doesn't the dutiful Annie love her dying husband? DAILY MAIL
