What are we reading this week?

CLOSE BY MARTINA COLE

Spanning forty years of the criminal underworld

I love reading Martina Cole novels because she makes it feel so real. The books are not for the faint hearted with much swearing and violence but they are definitely worth reading. 

This book is about love, crime, hate and how one family can rise and fall like the wind. I have never picked up one of Martina Cole books and cried like I have this time round. The story is about one family that has survived so much that has been thrown at them. 

The story is created around the life of Lily Bradie and her family from the time she was 16 until the time she was 66. You can feel the passion that one woman has for her children and the love of her life.    

Spanning forty years of the criminal underworld, Close is powerful, shocking and utterly addictive. Martina Cole is the only person who dares to tell it like it is. 

You will not be disappointed by this novel and the brash story that is told!
