Book Synopsis

''A searingly beautiful novel''
Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

''Outstanding, and has lingered in my head for a very long time''

Prima



How do you survive the unsurvivable?

Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it''s the ordinary family life she always thought she''d have. All of that changes in an instant - when Tom runs the family car off the road, seeking to end his own life, and take his wife and children with him. Rachel is left to pore over the wreckage to try and understand what happened - to find a way to go on living afterwards.

What emerges is a snapshot of what it''s like to live alongside someone who is suffering, how you keep yourself afloat when the person you love is drowning, and how you survive irreparable loss.

Impossible to turn away from, Show Me Where It Hurts is a compelling, heartbreaking and ultimately life-affirming story of recovery and unexpected hope.
