Synopsis:

 

Ben Walker sets out to trace his father and discover the truth about his adoption in 1968. But the past holds secrets that his brother Mark is desperate to keep. Old hatreds between the brothers are rekindled and their adopted father is made to face his own guilt over the events of that spring of 1968.

 

‘Say you love me’ tells the story of two brothers, Ben and Mark Walker (formerly Carter) who both suffer from the legacy of their real father’s sexual abuse and the ripple effect of abuse within a family.

 

Marion Husband I found has the amazing gift of writing beautifully whilst writing about horrific, sad, terrifying matters. I had a lump in my throat the whole time reading this book, I could not believe how terrible one person could be and even though I could not believe it, I am realist and I know there are so many bad people out there.

 

The characters are well written, the emotions raw, which made for really good reading.

 

I would highly recommend ‘Say you love me’ not just because of the subject of the book but because there is a sense of hope within the book which I found refreshing whilst not sugar-coating the subject of abuse.

 

A sad and powerful book. I know I will be reading more titles by Marion Husband.
