Show Me Where It Hurts

A 2025 BOOK TO WATCH IN THE IRISH TIMES, SUNDAY INDEPENDENT AND RT GUIDE 'This story of a woman's survival after the worst has happened, makes for a searingly beautiful novel.' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things 'Exceptional' Florence Knapp, author of The Names 'Exceptional . . . simply an exquisite novel' Anne Griffin, author of When All Is Said How do you survive the unsurvivable? Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it's the comfortable family life she always thought she'd have. All of that changes in an instant - when one action by Tom destroys the life they've built, leaving Rachel to pore over the wreckage to try and understand what happened, to try and find a way to go on living afterwards. What emerges is a snapshot of what it's like to live alongside someone who is suffering, how you keep yourself afloat when the person you love is drowning - and how you survive irreparable loss. Show Me Where It Hurts is utterly compelling, heartbreaking, and difficult to turn away from.
