About the book
From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Cornercomes the moving story of a man whose life is changed in an instant. How do you start again when you lose the only love you’ve ever known?
When Nick’s wife Kerry falls ill and dies, he realises for the first time how fragile his happiness has always been, and how much he’s been taking his good life and wonderful family for granted. Now, he suddenly finds himself navigating parenthood alone, unsure how to deal with his own grief, let alone that of his teenage son, Olly.
In the depths of his heartbreak, Nick must find a way to navigate life that pleases his son, his in-laws, his family and his friends—while honouring what Kerry meant to them all. But when it comes to his own emotions, Nick doesn’t know where to begin. Kerry was his childhood sweetheart—but was she really the only one who could ever make him happy?
And in the aftermath of tragedy, can Nick and his son find themselves again?
‘The Light in the Hallway’ by Amanda Prowse is out now, published by Lake Union, priced £8.99 in paperback original.
My Review
This is one author I just love so much. Every single book of hers I have devoured and this latest book I really believe is one of her best! The Light in the Hallway is incredibly emotional, I shed so many tears! My heart ached for poor Nick and Olly. I just wanted to give them a huge hug and tell them it would get easier. I really felt for Nick especially as he has had to deal with so much and things are really getting to him.
I loved the way the author has included segments from Nick’s childhood. It really helped get to know him better and see him in a much happier light.
From the minute I picked this book up I really couldn’t put it down, I just needed to keep reading to find out more an before I knew it I has reached the end.
Oh and Amanda has written this book absolutely perfectly! Really felt like this was real life and not a story, I felt all the emotions.
