Description

Review “A poignant page-turner about the devastating effects of abusive relationships and the ripples that can impact future generations… Postcards from a Stranger drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until its final pages…Clark doesn’t offer any easy solutions yet the book is filled with hope and the possibility of second chances.” ―Emily Cavanagh, author of This Bright Beauty and The Bloom Sisters About the Author Imogen Clark lives in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and children. Her first burning ambition was to be a solicitor and so she read law at Manchester University and then worked for many years at a commercial law firm. After leaving her legal career behind to care for her children, Imogen turned to her second love: books. She returned to university, studying part-time while the children were at school, and was awarded a BA in English literature with first-class honours. Imogen loves sunshine and travel and longs to live by the sea someday.

Features & Highlights

  • A secret lies buried at the heart of her family―but it can’t stay hidden forever.
  • When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards in the attic, their contents make her question everything she thought she knew.
  • The story she pieces together is confusing and unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into Alzheimer’s and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear, though: someone knows more than they’re letting on.
  • Torn between loyalty to her family and dread of what she might find, Cara digs into the early years of her parents’ troubled marriage, hunting down long-lost relatives who might help unravel the mystery. But the picture that begins to emerge is not at all the one she’d expected―because as she soon discovers, lies have a habit of multiplying . . .

THERE'S ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY

I WISH I HAD HAD A WHOLE DAY TO READ THIS BOOK. I STARTED IT ONE DAY AND WONDERED IF I WOULD FINISH IT AT ALL. BACK AND FORTH. . .NAMES. . .SO I DID AS I USUALLY DO IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND MADE A "FAMILY TREE". . .AND IT WORKED! THERE WEREN'T AS MANY PEOPLE AS I THOUGHT THERE WERE. NOT YOUR USUAL STORY. . . MAKES YOU WONDER IF YOU EVER KNOW THE PERSON YOU DECIDED TO MARRY!!! IF YOU'RE ONLY 19 OR 20 YEARS OLD AND ARE THINKING ABOUT MARRYING THE "PERFECT PERSON FOR YOU". . . DON'T DO IT! GET TO KNOW THEM FOR 5 YEARS OR SO. I ALWAYS ADMIRED GOLDI HAWN AND KURT RUSSELL FOR BEING TOGETHER FOR SO LONG AND HAVING CHILDREN AND NOT MARRYING. I THINK THEY MAY HAVE FINALLY TIED THE KNOT. ANYWAY. . . .THIS IS A GREAT STORY. . .AND REMINDED ME OF MY "AUNT TILLIE". . .WHO PASSED ON MANY YEARS AGO BUT WAS OUR NEIGHBOR AND SECOND "MOTHER". READ THE BOOK! YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!
