With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital arc of this book, all opinions expressed here are my own.
The Truth About Her by Jacqueline Maley is the author’s first novel. It is beautifully descriptive with well developed characters.
This is a story about life and death. This is a story about mothers. A working single mother. A mother with a grown up daughter and a granddaughter. A mother with a dead daughter. The setting is summer in Australia written in a way you can feel the heat and humidity.
While this story was well written it was unfortunately not for me. I found the pace slow and felt like nothing much really happened. It was simply a story about life. A three star read for me.
Genre: General Fiction

Praise for this book
"I loved The Truth About Her. I could not put it down - whip-smart, sexy and with so much heart - and god, that ending packed a punch. The sort of book that all mothers need to read." - Eliza Henry-Jones
"Read the first sentence of Jacqueline Maley's debut novel, and you will be in it until the end. Electrifying, deeply unsettling and so, so satisfying. And, if you've ever tried to manage the sharp end of a career with the blunt demands of parenthood, fiercely recognisable." - Meg Mason
