The Sacrificial Man by @ruth_dugdall published by @legendpress
Dark, Full on, full steam ahead. Hold on or you will get left behind.
๐
Alice Mariano has been found guilty of the assisted suicide of her lover David (also known as Smith) who she meet online.
.
Cate Austin is a probation officer whoโs job it is to assess Alice and make recommendations for sentencing to present to the judge.
๐
From the off Alice makes her views perfectly clear that she WILL NOT GO TO PRISON- as she is an advocate of assisted dying and she believes that she has carried out the wishes that David had requested.
๐
Alice is a very complex individual. She didnโt have the best start in life – she lost her mother at the age of 4 and was unloved.
Not only is she very clever and manipulative but she also has a bit of narcissism in her. She leads a very lonely and quite sad life. Does not have many people in her life.
๐
Cate has the very difficult task of unpicking Alice, uncover her many layer. What makes her tick. What is slowly unearths is far from pleasant.
๐
The book takes you on a journey of the past & present through Alicesโ eyes. This is vital as it gives the reader the background to Alice and whether her past has effected her present.
๐
The writing is sublime and Ruth Dundalk has achieved something quite remarkable – a book thatโs very dark yet heartbreaking at the same time and it works. It also brings the taboo subject of assisted dying to the forefront.
๐
This books moved at such a speed. I was utterly gripped from the very first page right to the end.
๐
An amazing book and must read. Your unable to predict how this story will end.
