Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton
5.0
5 Stars from me
Oh my god - this book, this book, this book!
#ThreeHoursNovel by Rosamund Lupton is absolutely breathtaking. I really can't recommend this book enough. Every page is powerful and beautifully crafted and I read most of the story with my breath held and my heart in my mouth.
The emotions within the book are captured perfectly and I was taken through the whole gambit from joy to fear to heartbreak and back again.
My heart broke for the poor mum who was waiting for news of her son, her emotions were tangible, palpable and I lived them with her. The emotive feelings from this stayed with me for days after I had finished the book.
The breaking of the story via Twitter and YouTube was cleverly delivered and again utterly believable and compelling.
Without wishing to give the story away or drop any spoilers, the brain washing and manipulation was terrifying and heart breaking again in equal measure.
However, among the horror and awfulness of the hatred and intolerance a bright light of love and warm shone out. The spirit and strength of the school staff, the resilience and protectiveness of the students, the faith in each other was beautiful.
I had high hopes owing to the sheer brilliance of Sister and can definitively confirm that I was not disappointed. Three Hours is a must read of 2020 and I am truly honoured to be kicking off the blog tour for Penguin Books.
