Description
Book SynopsisSend Me No Flowers is the story of a young woman''s fight for survival.
Donna Stewart''s family is poor but respectable and hard working. Donna is beautiful and clever - about to go up to university. Celebrating her exam results with her friends at a club, she meets Danny Lester, ten years older, much richer, a businessman - he sweeps her off her feet. Despite warnings from friends and family, Donna enjoys Danny''s wild streak. She believes this is the man she will marry and live with happy ever after. But it gradually emerges that ''Danny the knife'' is a dangerous criminal - and a sadist. She is introduced to a world of drugs and prostitutes, where Danny gets his kicks by terrifying her. The longer she leaves it, the harder it will be to escape. But eventually, helped by a loyal circle of female friends, she works out a plan.
Trade ReviewA brutally disturbing story. Truely shocking. * Daily Mirror *
Her story is horrifying and terrifyingly explicit in parts, but Tomlin's words are always believable. Donna's spiral downwards is the stuff of nightmares and a warning to anyone who thinks they can handle a cocktail of drugs and love. In parts I was almost too sickened to carry on - but I could not put it down. (5 stars) * News of the World *
