Book Review  Beneath the Skin  By Caroline England Book Information  Pages : 362 Publication Day - 5/10/17 No-one remembers your past. But you do. ‘Antonia, Antonia. My name is Antonia.’ It’s been her name for many years. But sometimes, like tonight, she forgets. Antonia has a secret. A secret so dark and so deep that she can barely admit it to herself. Instead, she treats herself to Friday night sessions of self-harm while her husband David is at the pub, and her best friend Sophie is drinking too much wine a few doors down. Nobody close to her knows the truth about what the teenage Antonia saw all those years ago. No-one, that is, except her mother.

But when the tightly woven story you’ve told yourself begins to unravel, the truth threatens to come to the surface. And then what’s goin...
