Indiscretion by Charles Dubow - A Review


 
 
From the moment I began reading Indiscretion I was hooked.  Walter is a wonderful and charming narrator and hearing the story through his voice makes it seem real, as though these events and people really exist.   Although the story is about Harry, Madeleine and Claire, it is his story too.  From a writers point of view this is a great example of how powerful a story can be when told through the eyes of someone who is witnessing the events unfold. 

Wonderfully written by Charles Dubow, it carried me along effortlessly.  I couldn’t put it down.   At one point the story was so sad I wanted to stop, but was compelled to continue reading to find out what happened to these characters who had become so real to me.   I was glad I did.  This is a truly heart breaking story about love, loss and the consequences of the choices we make.  It is a fabulous novel and one that will remain with you long after the last words have been read.

This review has been posted on the Lovereading website where you can also download an extract from this fabulous debut novel.
