#review My Mother’s Lies by Diane Saxon
My Mother’s Lies
She’s been lying my whole life…
As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn’t shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she’s just told me I’m not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children.
The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there’s a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from?
When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet’s nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades.
What has my mum done?
Can I trust her?
Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives?
Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.

REVIEW
This had so many twists it made me eat head spin – in a good way. When Siobhan’s mother Grace has a a fall and breaks her hip she discovers a web of lies from one little moment in her mother painful delirium – ‘Your not my daughter’. From here Siobhan discovers her mother’s secret past and the tale of deceit all comes to a crushing end and Siobhan’s true identity is revealed. I love this book and the lengths that Grace went to, to project Siobhan over the years.
