Into the Storm by Cecelia Ahern
In my opinion...
On the day that Hurricane Milton is causing devastation in the US, it seems appropriate to be reviewing the publication of a book where the novel starts with a terrible storm.
I have read many previous novels by this author- but this one felt more uncomfortable and darker than others.
The story has many twists and layers, the characters are memorable, with Margaret in particular standing out. I was fascinated by the references to Irish traditions and folklore, in particular the rag tree.
I enjoyed the novel, but was not dashing to read it every night, maybe because some of the unsettling themes that ran through it, were just too realistic! Cecelia Ahern is a great storyteller...

ONE NIGHT
It is a wild night in the middle of December, and GP Enya is crouched over a teenage boy, performing CPR in the rain.
ONE MOMENT
The boy survives, but Enya’s life splinters in two. Trapped in a loveless marriage, the storm propels her to break free.
ONE CHANCE TO BE FREE
But even in the remote country town that becomes her sanctuary, Enya is haunted by the night in the rain.
Beneath the boughs of an ancient tree that tells a thousand stories, can she find the courage to face her own?
'A terrific story! It had me completely gripped from the very first page' KARIN SLAUGHTER
‘Outstanding… I simply couldn’t stop reading. One of the two or three best novels I’ve read this year and without question the best book I’ve ever read by Cecelia' JOHN BOYNE
My rating...
An unsettled four glasses.
