An extremely emotional well-crafted read!
This was my first encounter with a Jane Corry novel, and I was not disappointed! “I Looked Away” is an extremely emotional well-crafted read, which certainly highlights human frailty.
The reader has to follow the lives of the two main characters... Ellie and Jo. The narrative cleverly informs events from their present to past, and the often-shocking consequences for these two ladies.
As time goes by both Ellie and Jo reflect and tell their own emotional stories of the events in their own troubled lives. Of course, it is always the past which shapes their present and even their future situations.
We discover just how unfortunate and hideous their lives are, and how Jane Corry tackles issues such as abuse, bullying, deception, cruelty, alcoholism and homelessness with sensitivity, empathy and compassion. She has clearly researched these subjects, so adding to the reality of some people’s fractured lives. Even potential murder and prison becomes real for Ellie.
I felt that all the characters were extremely believable and woven together expertly by Jane Corry. We discover how their lives are interwoven and I enjoyed the twists throughout. I’ll certainly lookout for this author again!
Galadriel.
