The Art of Hiding
By: Amanda Prowse
Rating: 5 of 5
“The Art of Hiding” is the first book I have read by Amanda Prowse, so I had no expectations about how the story would go. Within very few pages, the world of the characters in the book has been turned upside down. From there, their lives get so shaken with further revelations, that they seem to be suffering a tad from PTSD.
The main character, Nina McCarrick, has to deal with the loss of love as well as the lifestyle she has grown used to. The story is about how she and her two boys learn to live again despite their losses.
I, too, have lost a close loved one and have suffered it as a life-altering experience. Reading it in a story (albeit a different loss, etc.) struck the chord of recognition in me. Ms. Prowse is able to present these emotions in story form with such realism that it was almost difficult for me to continue reading.
The book has many amusing moments so it is not by any means a depressing book to read. It is inspiring and I found some of the words to be incredibly helpful for me as well.
I’ll be looking for more books by this talented author in the future.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
