Never Knowing: A Novel | Chevy Stevens
post image
Mehso-so

Driven by curiosity, she searches for her birth mother, only to discover that her mother was a serial killer's victim—and she herself is a by product of that tragedy. Her life unravels as she becomes entangled in an FBI investigation while grappling with personal turmoil. The chilling developments that unfold are full of suspense. Narrated in the second person, the chapters are written as psychological sessions, adding depth to the narrative. 🎧

I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

TrishB Sounds like a plan. Love your glass ❤️ 1mo
LapReader Thankyou @TrishB It was a gift from an old man whose wife I work with. She is way past retirement. I don‘t have a license so he would drive me home from work once a week in exchange for the use of my sauna as it helped with his emphysema which he died of eventually. They were his mother‘s and so delicate. I cherish them. Very generous people. 1mo
TrishB Oh that‘s a lovely story too (sad but lovely!). Beautiful and good memories. 1mo
CarolynM This was such an interesting book. I‘ve been thinking about it a lot since Suzanne‘s daughter‘s book has been out🙂 1mo

Super absorbing multi-generational story. LOVED IT! Except for the ending. As usual, I wanted an epilogue.
