Good literature is meant to be thought provoking, and in this regard bestselling author Lesley Kara leaves nothing to chance. Holding the reader in a permanent state of suspense, it is not by accident that her Novel The Rumour has been named bestselling ebook of 2019. The story is one of great human tragedy, realism and cries out for empathy, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator. What a splendid piece of writing. I finished the book in just one go – brilliantly done.
For those who prefer the spoken word, The Rumour is also available as an audio book. Set in an English seaside town, outstanding actress Clare Corbett brings to life a bunch of multidimensional characters who got caught up in a web of tragedy and suffering in which resolution amounts to nothing more than an illusion.
