About SILENT TRUTHS, SPOKEN LIES:

The purple-black bruises around the back of her neck reminded Poppy of ink fingerprints.

It is the summer of 2003. Poppy lives inside her head and notices everything. She sees that her parents seem to have it all: a country house, Notting Hill flat and a tight circle of friends. She witnesses her brother call Kiran, the stepson of one of those friends, weird. And when Kiran is accused of attacking her, she observes how the accusation sparks a series of uncontrollable events. Kiran is adamant he didn’t harm her. Her mother has no doubt he did and is determined to ensure he is punished.

Twenty years later, Poppy’s story is told to a hospice patient, and the unspeakable truth is finally revealed.

SILENT TRUTHS, SPOKEN LIES, told through the eyes of Poppy, explores complicated family relationships and the nature of lies.

‘This author’s words are like magic…Her words pull you in and you forget that you’re even reading a book…And THAT ending! Mind blown!…This would be a perfect book for a book club. There’s so much to dissect and discuss here.’
