Behind Her Eyes: Book Review
Book Review:
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Sarah Pinborough has penned an interesting book. A psychological three hundred paged thriller set in London, England, it is divided into three parts told from the third point of view: Then, Later and Now. Though effective in layering the action, the sequence of events is somewhat muddled.
The story is told from the viewpoint of the two major female characters, Louise and Adele. The chapters revert back and forth, which helps us understand the women plus the unfolding situation. The plot focuses on traumatic issues such as marital infidelity, family trauma and mental health. No one is whom they seem and the truth reveals what we assume false.
There is a thread of the supernatural throughout that I didn't feel was developed fully. As a result, it reduced the quality of an otherwise twisting and turning story. The ending from Rob's point of view was also unsatisfactory; too quick and neat though a surprise, for sure. Nevertheless, a worthwhile read.
