The Wendy House is a
compelling story that tells the touching story of the horrors of
abuse and the deep emotional scars it leaves behind. The author
writes and captures the true feelings and emotions of the trauma
the victim is going through and how it effects the whole family
dynamics, with the shock waves and secrets of the feelings of fear
and repercussions of speaking up.
A very difficult and
taboo subject to write about in a novel, some readers may find its
content upsetting, but the author handles the difficult scenes in a
gentle, honest and respectful way. The book really makes you become
involved with the leading character, it is gripping and you want to
reach in among the pages and offer help and understanding. 'Tell
someone', you feel yourself saying. I have read all of author Pauline
Barclay's books and they are all very good and excellent reads, but
this is her best work to date.
