Book Information
'Who am I? Why am I here? Why did my mother give me away?'
On the surface, Luke and his girlfriend Hannah seem to have a perfect life. He's an A&R man, she's an arts correspondent and they are devoted to their new-born son Samuel.
But beneath the gloss Luke has always felt like an outsider. So when he finds his birth mother Alice, the instant connection with her is a little like falling in love.
When Hannah goes back to work, Luke asks Alice to look after their son. But Alice - fuelled with grief from when her baby was taken from her 27 years ago - starts to fall in love with Samuel. And Luke won't settle for his mother pushing him aside once again...

So when Alice and Luke meet he now has a family, a Wife Hannah and a son called Samuel.
As they get to know each other, after all these years, Alice offers to look after young Samuel.
Alice loves Samuel as a grandparent would, but in seeing this bond Luke craved and missed out on, sparks up a touch of jealousy and he begins to wonder if letting Alice care for Samuel is such a good idea after all!
I loved learning about Alice's story and why she came to the painful decision to give Luke up for adoption.
Then there was Luke's story, the impact of being adopted, finding Alice and how it would/is effecting his relationship with his adopted parents, the impact it has on his own relationship with his mother and his family and son.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading MINE, it was completely enthralling, there is so many layers to this book. It has a psychological feel, yet it's poignant, and cleverly plotted.
It's very much a character driven story set between two time lines, which I loved as it gave the plot so much depth.
If you love your Family Thrillers to be so much more than a thriller, that take you on a rollercoaster of emotions then I highly recommend this fantastic book!
