nUser Reviews
With a nuanced touch, Dean explores the intricate layers of family relationships, delving into the aftermath of a harrowing past. The characters are painted with shades of vulnerability, making them relatable in their flawed humanity.
Dean's prose is a tapestry of emotions, weaving together moments of despair and resilience. "Girl A" invites readers to ponder the grey areas of morality and the enduring strength found within fractured families.
This is a novel that not only tells a story but invites contemplation on the intricate threads that bind us all.
It had me gripped from the beginning! The narrator was perfect as well
A compelling, empathetic and thrilling listen, beautifully narrated by Holliday Grainger.
