The Stolen Child by Sanjida Kay
Thanks to Corvus Books, I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review....
Seven years ago you stole my child. Now I want her back......
Zoe and Ollie Morley are a married couple who tried for years to have a baby and couldn't, so they turned to adoption and their dreams came true when they were approved to a adopt a little girl from birth whom they named Evie.
Fast forward seven years, they have moved to Yorkshire from London and they have grown with a wonderful surprise in the form of baby Ben. When Evie starts receiving letters and gifts from a sender claiming to be her birth father. He has been looking for his daughter and now he will stop at nothing to take her back. Zoe is a working Mum and it's not easy for her as her husband never seems to be there when she needs him, is there more to Ollie than he is letting on??
Well, I absolutely LOVED this, it was fantastic and was gripped right fom the first page. I could feel the tension on every page that I turned. The storyline is very true to life and explores a lot of what can and has happened to children and this storyline could be a little upsetting for some reading this so it is far from roses and puppies and it will definitely stick long in my mind due to the subject matter. I was suspicious of every character in the book, I didn't know who to trust or if I could for that matter. I could feel my heart pounding at times towards the end of the book. I thought that I'd had it worked out but I was wrong and it kept me guessing right until the end which I love as nothing worse than knowing the twist long before it's revealed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
This is Sanjida's second book, her first been Bone By Bone which I haven't read yet but will definitely be doing so soon as I thoroughly enjoyed The Stolen Child. The Stolen Child is available in all good bookstores and is currently on Kindle for £3.79 at the time of publication of this review.
