What Lies Between Us

Product Information

I was in my bathtub when i was reading this( I can't read in my room late at night okay? If my mother came to know that I read in bathtub till 2 am she would do something like Maggie did to Nina ) and when I finished it I looked in the mirror and I realized this book is more scary than my face!! That’s what Baby will eat tonight. Just like the people in Fran-ce. Fried frogs curry with rice.” He raises his arms trailing streams of jelly in the air, looks like a tentacled creature rising from the depths, shakes his fists so the water sparkles, lands on my bare thighs. Our laughter echoes across the pond. Such frittered-away chances make me want to crawl on my hands and knees to the end of the garden, curl up into a ball on a mound of earth and wait until the nettles and the ivy choke and cover me from view.” by the twisted journey this book takes you on. I know John Marrs previous books have led us through Twistville and this one is no different. However, this one differs in that the story changes how you feel about the lead characters to such a point you just don't know what they are capable of next. The deceptive story climbs and climbs until you think you've reached the peak, only to find another, final twist (have I said twist enough?). Regardless of the plot being predictable, it’s in the details (of the charaters’ conditions, what’s happened to them in the last 25 years) that make the believability of the whole story rather low. It’s simply too convenient to be realistic.

At times, Maggie questions her past actions. Most of the time she knows that she did what she had to do. Desperately trying to assimilate to American ways - her past secrets follow her - which leads to tragedy.The anxiety that all this would create in a child. I can see how this would cause a child to fear disappointing her mother. Would do anything to keep her mother from looking at her with disapproval. That she would keep secrets instead of trusting that her mother would help. The delicate mother. Instead she will continue to keep quiet, not disturb, and be good. People write to me. Mothers, mostly; they spew venom. That's not surprising. I have done the unthinkable. I have parted the veil and crossed into that other unseen country. They hate me because I am the worst thing possible. I am the bad mother.

Sixty-eight-year old, Maggie spends her days in the attic watching her neighbors going about their lives. To them, she doesn't exist. As Maggie watches, she notices things that no one else does. She’s the first to notice when Mr. Steadman’s curtains stop opening and his mail and newspapers start piling up. I have read a previous book this author passengers, which I also found an excellent read. This book though has to be the best book of 2020 so far so full of twists and turns so many well-defined characters the narration is absolutely superb and the definition between the voices is excellent, throughout the book you care about the characters even as the book becomes darker and darker and darker. I find myself not being able to stop listening while still trying to figure what was going to happen next. The One has been translated into 30 different languages and is to be turned into an eight-part Netflix series starting in autumn 2020. My friend made a bet with me that I couldn't guess the ending of this book ! I accepted the challenge coz I was sure that I will guess it!!We only have Maggie and Nina to suspect. So, it’s either one of them is the bad guy or both of them are. That took the fun away from me. Especially since with each neatly placed clue, (if you’re clever enough to notice them) you can guess the who. This novel provokes questions regarding the loyalty a mother has towards her child. What are the responsibilities we assume as parents and were these met in this story? How did the climax scene on the Golden Gate Bridge affect you? Was it a hard scene to read? Did you anticipate that this is where the novel was heading? For three months after, there was a hornish protrusion on the left side of my head. It subsided eventually but for those months my parents were alarmed. “We didn’t know if it would ever go away. I didn’t know what sort of child I had given birth to. You were the strangest creature. A little monster.” Amma admitted, “But then the swelling went down and you were our perfect little girl.” I keep most people at arm’s length for a reason. If you allow an emotional attachment to develop, eventually that person will disappoint you. They might not mean to, but if a better opportunity comes along, they will always leave you for it. I’ve learned the hard way that people – even loved ones – are transient souls.”
