The Boy Under the Table
The Boy Under the Table | Nicole Trope
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
A story of immense power and compassion—one that will move all who read it with its harrowing glimpse into the real world behind the headlines Tina is a young woman hiding from her grief on the streets of the Cross. On a cold night in the middle of winter she breaks all her own rules when she agrees to go home with a customer. What she finds in his house will change her life forever. Across the country, Sarah and Doug are trapped in limbo, struggling to accept the loss that now governs their lives. Pete is the local policeman who feels like he is watching the slow death of his own family. Every day brings a fresh hell for each of them. Told from the alternating points of view of Tina, Sarah, Doug, and Pete, The Boy Under the Table is gritty, shocking, moving, and, ultimately, filled with hope.

I loved this book, mainly that although it was fiction, it could and probably does happen in real life. Nicole has a writing style where I feel I am right alongside her characters going through the same emotions and anticipation with them. Love it, I have bought more Nicole Trope books after reading this.

I read it in one sitting, it's difficult to read in places, the author very cleverly uses just enough words to steer your imagination in the right direction. I read this in under 5 hours but the characters have crept under my skin and could be there a lifetime. Credit to the author, very well written book which id completely recommend.
