Alison has been studying Hush Delilah by Angie Gallion
This can be a very well-written guide, gripping and clever, and, sadly, all too plausible.
Delilah is portrayed very authentically, and, whereas it’s fairly irritating to learn the novel at instances due to her reactions and inaction, it is vitally clear why she behaves as she does, and why she feels so trapped and powerless.
Chase may be very correct, the way in which he manipulates Delilah so terrifying to learn, and the affect he has on the couple’s son probably the most disturbing elements of the narrative. The way in which he has ‘chosen’ Delilah to be his spouse is so telling, and the explanations she has for believing his lies, and turning into so reduce off from everybody and so reliant are straightforward to imagine. It’s unsettling and upsetting to really feel her worry and trepidation when she is solely doing issues we take with no consideration and wouldn’t take into consideration twice. That the writer has carried out this in a manner that makes you need to learn on, desirous to know what occurs to Delilah, rooting for her all of the whereas, is a testomony to the talent of the writing.
Really useful. 5 stars
