“Into the Storm ” by Cecelia Ahearn
Cecelia Ahern is an Irish novelist, known for her works like PS, I Love You; Where Rainbows End; and If You Could See Me Now.
It is a wild night in the middle of December, and GP Enya is crouched over a teenage boy, performing CPR in the rain.
The boy survives, but Enya’s life splinters in two. Trapped in a loveless marriage, the storm propels her to break free. But even in the remote country town that becomes her sanctuary, Enya is haunted by the night in the rain. Beneath the boughs of an ancient tree that tells a thousand stories, can she find the courage to face her demons.
The book was enjoyed by all members of the book club. However, some members found the ending unbelievable because they felt that the author had not set up some of the characters well, particularly the GP in the story who they felt was not credible.
Despite this it was readable and well written, and some members really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
A score of 7/10 was given overall.
