Before you knew my name

by Jacqueline Bublitz | Buy this book

This book moved me to tears and the main character stayed with me long after I'd finished the book. It's about a young girl who meets an untimely death in New York but the book delves into her life leaving you with a sense of a whole person not just a name in a sad newspaper story. Everyone I have recommended this to has loved it.

Jenny (Whitley Bay)

Just moved to Whitley Bay and would love to join a local book club!
