Just by reading the first paragraph of this book you will be
completely and utterly hooked and will instantly want to know more about the
person that is "Strange Sally Diamond". Sally has always been very
different from the other children, bullied at school with no ability to make
friends she lives on a remote farm with her elderly father. When she does have
to go into the village, she pretends to be deaf so that she doesn’t have to
interact with anyone. Sally leads a very literal life, and so when someone asks
her to do something, she’ll carry out their wishes, to the letter. She does not
have the ability to read between the lines, and at the start of the story she doesn’t
possess a lot of emotions, but this is something she works through. Bought up by her adoptive parents, we learn
more about Sally’s upbringing and what happened to her previously with her back
story.
This book will send shivers down your spine and make the
hairs on your arms stand up, which is what we have learnt to expect from Liz
Nugent and she certainly delivers that again in this book. She has always been
one of my go-to favourite authors and I find myself waiting rather impatiently for
her next offering because you know it’s going to be brilliant! I would personally
say that this is her best book to date.
You are going to love this, and there’s no doubt that this
will be one of the most popular books of 2023 which will fly off the shelves. You
will race through this story, so when you buy it you’ll need to clear the decks
and make sure you allow yourself 24-48 hours
completely void of any distractions or disturbances. I am desperate to
talk to people about this book there are many things I want to talk about!!
If I could have one wish, it would be that I could go back
and read it again for the first time.
