Story
Frieda Klein is a solitary, incisive psychotherapist who spends her sleepless nights walking along the ancient rivers that have been forced underground in modern London. She believes that the world is a messy, uncontrollable place. The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes a national outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over the newspapers, Frieda cannot ignore the coincidence: one of her patients has been having dreams in which he has a hunger for just such a child.

Story
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

Had Great Potential but Quickly Went Downhill!!!
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I dont know who would enjoy this book other than fans of Caryl Philips perhaps? Otherwise, I do not know of anyone who would like this book or anyone I would recommend it to at all.
What was most disappointing about Caryl Phillips’s story?
The thing that was disappointing about this book was the fact that it started off with a bang, but quickly began to go downhill as far as the story going anywhere else or progressing. Its almost like it was written backwards! The ending didnt make ANY SENSE whatsoever, its almost like Caryl Philips was writing it, got tired, and gave his work to someone else to complete. I read this for a school assignment and it was on its way to being the best one Ive read, but missed in a GREAT way towards the end. Very disappointing and if it wasnt for this being for a grade, it would also have been an utter waste of time...
Have you listened to any of Ben Onwukwe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I havent listened to any of his performances before but I did enjoy his performance over anything else. It was the one thing that made this whole experience somewhat enjoyable after the book started to get worse towards the end.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and Disappointment pretty much sums up how I felt after reading this book...angry that I had to read this book only to find out that it was a dud and disappointed because it could have been something great. It had soo much potential.
Any additional comments?
Unless you HAVE TO read this book, DO NOT waste your time with this one. Find another book to read...there are soo many more that wont make you want to burn them when youre done. Im sorry, but yes....it was that bad when it was all over.
