What to expect
Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request
It all started with ... HIM.
Catherine has become mute. She has witnessed something so disturbing that she simply can't speak - not to her husband, her children, or her friends. The doctors say the only way forward is to look into her past. Catherine needs to start with Him. Lucian.
Catherine met the love of her life at university and was drawn into his elite circle of privileged, hedonistic friends. But one night it all falls apart and she leaves him, shattering his life forever.
Still, fifteen years later, Lucian haunts every one of Catherine's quiet moments, and when they are unexpectedly reunited, their love reignites with explosive force.
But they can't move on from what happened all those years ago. In fact, uncovering the truth will cause their lives to implode once again. This time, with disastrous consequences.
Read by Nathalie Buscombe and Max Dowler

Critics Review
Gripping, involving, heartbreaking … really interesting and thought-provoking on the impact of shame and silence.
What a wonderful debut! It was dark, addictive and ultimately heart breaking.
Gripping and kept me guessing – and so emotionally true.
Him is dark, gripping, original and totally heartbreaking. Clare Empson writes like a dream: taut and sophisticated, not a word wasted. I loved this book.
Addictive, elegant and pacey writing. Brideshead recalibrated by way of Big Little Lies.
A compelling and unforgettable novel in which silence speaks louder than words and relationships are not what they seem. I was utterly gripped from the first sentence.
There are shades of Brideshead in this elegantly written novel that explores the devastating effects of a doomed love affair. A captivating read.
A dark love story.
Beautiful writing, tense atmosphere, a dazzling debut.
Loved this gripping, brilliant, heart-breaking and thought-provoking book.
Wow! Just wow! This was truly amazing! Completely adored it.
An addictive read.
Heartbreaking and beautifully drawn. HIM stays with you long after the final page.
