The Family

The Family, Martina Cole.

I'm a HUGE fan of Martina Cole as you can probably tell, this book as a whole was brilliant.. It took me ages to read however, I don't know if that was because I couldn't focus or because I couldn't get into it as well as her previous books I've read - I'm not sure of the reason, as I said the book was brilliant.
It starts off with a bit of the ending and then takes you back to the start where you meet Christine, an innocent young girl with an awful mum. You also have Phillip Murphy, eldest son of Veronica and the strongest link of the Murphy family. The story follows Christine's life through the years and the price to pay for making the wrong decisions on your way. I'm not gonna say much more because I don't see the point in telling you what happens - READ IT! The blurb gives away enough as it is in my opinion! If your a big reader I definitely recommend it .. Light readers may find the size of it too much.
