My Review
5☆ Unputdownable, Mesmerising and Stunning read, that Stole My Heart.
WOW! I can't begin to find the right words to describe just how much I adored this beautifully compelling and poignant read.
Two very different women connected by different eras.
So brave and strong.
Standing up for what they believe in.
I don't want to give anything away.
But what I will say is, I enjoyed Clare's story.
After 25years of being belittled by her husband, she decides to take a stand and run away to Ireland, to live in her Uncles House that was left to her when he passed away.
Clare grows in confidence and strength, makes friends, and it's such a joy to see.
But Ellen's story BLEW ME AWAY!
I have always been fascinated with history, I can't say I remember dates etc... but I enjoy the stories.
So for me Ellen's story shone through and lit up the pages.
She tells of a story of the Irish Rebellion, falling in love, finding herself in turmoil, the trials and tribulations of war, family, heartache, loss and Love.
Her story had me deeply enthralled, and I shouldn't say This as i did enjoy Clare's story but I found myself eagerly turning the pages just to get another instalment.
The paced flowed between timelines seamlessly, as the story is told by Clare and Ellen in alternating chapters.
The plot was uplifting, mesmerising, thought provoking, heart warming and enthralling.
It's a story about love, heartbreak, danger, history, new beginnings, starting over, family, friendships, strength and heartache.
The Characters are strong, relatable, and both loveable, kick ass women that melted my heart.
The Forgotten Secret is an absolutely mesmerising and stunning read, that stole my heart.
It had me hooked from the first few pages, it was Unputdownable.
Would I recommend reading this Gorgeous Book..... without a doubt.... 100% YES!!
