Before The Lies By Elaine May

AVAILABLE ON KU

A story of a young girl, naive, vulnerable and innocent who by the lack of love from her parents was easily deceived mislead and whisked away to America by John an older man who made promises of a better life only to have Rosa kept like a whore in a flat and visited when he pleased. 





​Parts of this plot frustrated me, Rosa was a young girl who was groomed and blinded by love and I hoped the story would change course and would of gone down a different route on so many occasions but each time I felt hope it fizzled. 

I felt the story pick up and I enjoyed it more when Rosa met William there was more conversation whereas up to this point it had just felt like a story. 

The whole concept of the plot I enjoyed but more conversations and thoughts from the characters would of pulled myself as a reader in more also Rosa having a bit more backbone, why didn't she tell Will, why didn't she contact her friend again, her parents? I felt there were huge gaps and I was left with so many why's. 

The End - no words really, just, we love HEA'S that bring closure to a story especially when the main character has been through so much already.
