The story is told through both a series of letters from 19 year old inmate Archie and Claudia's hopes of starting a new life away from her abusive husband who is also serving time for money laundering. Claudia along with her daughter Jasmine, and mother Marcy flee to the small town of Kesterly. The i It took me awhile to really get engaged with the events of this story, the first half was a little too plodding for my liking - but having enjoyed others by Lewis, I'm glad that I persevered with it.
The idea that our main protagonist wishes to use a new identity was an interesting one, for those wishing to know more about Claudia would struggle to find any past mentions of her new name - which actually made her more visible than she realised. I liked the themes of forgiveness that the author was exploring with the use of restorative justice to be really thought provoking. Mar 28, Julie JuJu rated it really liked it Shelves: giveaways , arcs-read , reads. I love selecting books exclusively by their covers, and this was one of those.
But the explosive prologue sucked me right in. The pace was slow and steady, after the initial tension wore off. It had a unique premise and was more of a domestic drama, centered around an awful family disaster.
The most fascinating parts were the letters from Archie—an inmate imprisoned for a horrendous crime. Was it intentional? Is his remorse real? I spent a big portion of the book trying to figure out who his victim was and how all the characters would eventually come together.
I found it to be an intriguing concept. I found myself waking up in the middle of the night to sneak in some reading time My first book by Susan Lewis was a well-written, darkly-twisted and emotional tale of forgiveness, after an excruciating tragedy. Most of the characters were likable and well developed. I enjoyed following Marcy, Claudia and Archie through their painful journey. Forgive Me is a compelling and deeply emotional mystery from one of the best writers of psychological suspense in the genre.
The story opens with year-old prison inmate Archie writing a letter, seemingly in the name of restorative justice, to someone he wronged in the past. Claudia Winters's second husband, financier Marcus Huxley Browne, has been on trial in London for the past five months for insider trading, money laundering, fraud and other shady goings-on, and before his arrest had threa Forgive Me is a compelling and deeply emotional mystery from one of the best writers of psychological suspense in the genre.
Claudia Winters's second husband, financier Marcus Huxley Browne, has been on trial in London for the past five months for insider trading, money laundering, fraud and other shady goings-on, and before his arrest had threatened Claudia never to even think of leaving him as with his long reach and many nefarious connections he claims he would find her pretty swiftly.
Despite this Claudia musters the strength to leave her marriage of five years and takes their year-old daughter, Jasmine, and mother, Marcy, with her deeming his incarceration the perfect opportunity to evade him.
Together the family flee from West London to Kesterly-on-Sea in the West Country, where they have bought a beautiful seafront Victorian villa to inhabit, to both escape Marcus's criminal misdeeds and dangerous gangland connections but also the abuse and controlling behaviour he inflicted on Claudia for far too long. To free themselves from their nightmare they go to great lengths to become inconspicuous by changing their names, appearances and even identities.
As we follow them going about their new lives Archie and Claudia's family are unwittingly on a collision course and what they have taken with them, Marcus will never let them keep It is such a relatable story, and I found it was easy to engage and empathise with Claudia as a character; she is one of the most beautifully developed and genuine characters I have come across in the genre in a while.
Compelling, full of mystery with some exciting and unpredictable twists and stunning reveals; Lewis manages to keep an air of mystery right through to the end. High recommended. I finished Forgive me yesterday and have sat and thought how to review this book. It's hard because I think it's a nice concept it is just quite boring to read. It is predictable but in an unrealistic way. Forgive me is centred around a grandmother mother and daughter. Changing her name and leaving her old life behind, she has fled to the small town of Kesterly with her mother and daughter.
Here, she hopes they can be safe for the first I finished Forgive me yesterday and have sat and thought how to review this book. Here, she hopes they can be safe for the first time in years. It wraps the story up so it's around her which once you get far enough through you realise she's not the main focus. Plus she's a wet blanket and I just don't like her. Her mother, whose name escapes me is more central to the story. She has a tough decision to make and I really enjoyed reading her parts of the story.
It made for a good read but I don't feel we hear her voice enough. Then there are the penpal letters throughout in relation to restorative justice, which is an interesting form of repentance for criminals to use to help themselves and their victims. As a law lover and law teacher this is something I have studied alot and taught about and it's a great concept. I know the book stretches the limits of RJ but it's a bit to far.
It reads well and easily but the storyline just wasn't gripping. I felt on edge waiting for some big twist and it never came. I rate this book 2 stars. Could you forgive someone who has done something horrendous to you? The concept of Restorative Justice RJ is addressed in Forgive Me , a story about what happens when someone who has committed a terrible crime connects with the victim with the purpose of creating the possibility of healing for both.
This compelling book starts by introducing Archie, a man who has committed a terrible crime. It is the start of a series of letters written to his victim. We also meet Claudia, her daught Forgiveness. They settle in a small town fearful of being found. As they settle in, they find a warm and welcoming group of new friends. One is a lawyer who specializes in RJ.
We also learn more about Archie - his crime, his victim and his quest for forgiveness. This is a powerful and emotional book. The concept of Restorative Justice will challenge your feelings on criminals, rehabilitation and the possibility of it helping victims.
Rated 4. Review posted on MicheleReader. With dark and uncomfortable themes such as domestic abuse, victims of crime, and restorative justice at its core you would be forgiving in thinking this maybe a depressing read. But this book is also one of hope, love, family and forgiveness. Claudia is married to Marcus, their relationship is one filled with violence when her husband is arrested she flees, along with her daughter and mother.
With new identities they begin a journey that promises peace, and happiness. Unfortunately their past catches up with them in the most horrific way and life changes for all three will be changed forever.
The characters are well drawn and an interesting combination,Susan Lewis reveals their personal struggles, which evoke many emotions including sadness, anger and disbelief, to name but a few. Although I found the ending slightly predictable and clear cut I still really enjoyed Forgive Me. I especially enjoyed learning more about restorative justice and learning about the reasoning behind it, and how it can help both the victim and the perpetrator.

I won this book through a giveaway in exchange for an honest review. This was a very refreshing read. Enough suspense to fit my typical preferences and keep me happy, but different enough to be something new. I fell in love with the characters in this book and i thought the author did an amazing job at describing them. I felt like I actually knew them personally! My only reason I won this book through a giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was the ending. I have become a huge fan of Susan Lewis. She writes emotional stories that are realistic, timely and dealing in human nature. This one fits the bill and is compelling, drawing me in from the first page.
Archie is a nineteen year old inmate writing letters to his victim. They are heartfelt, emotional and honest. Then there is Claudia Winter, her daughter Jasmine and mother Marcy who are trying to start a new life away from Claudia's abusive husband, Marcus Huxley Browne who is in prison for insid I have become a huge fan of Susan Lewis. Then there is Claudia Winter, her daughter Jasmine and mother Marcy who are trying to start a new life away from Claudia's abusive husband, Marcus Huxley Browne who is in prison for insider trading, fraud and more.
They move to a remote town on the coast of Northern England. As the story progresses we see how these characters link together. I really enjoyed this story. It was full of emotion and heartbreak. The issues that revolve around spousal abuse have far reaching arms into the lives of many. The story is not about the abuse, but life after escaping the abuser. Trying to begin a new life while constantly looking over your shoulder is difficult and exhausting.
Then throw in that one act of violence and the story goes in a new direction. Now you have to deal with a serious crime and the fallout of that. The legal issues, court, and trial. More of an emotional roller coaster. The blurb says: Tense, emotional, and gripping, Susan Lewis's latest novel is a spellbinding story of family and the power of forgiveness. This is a great description. I had heard about restorative justice and had even used it in my school when I was a principal, but this is a much bigger scale and seeing it put into practice, was very interesting.
Forgiveness is important to the victim in order to move on. I really enjoyed this story and seeing how things played out. It was emotional, raw and honest and I definitely recommend this one.
This gameplay was especially inspired by the Persona series and battle inspired by binding Ishak and Zelda.

Natalie earned a degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Miami. Upon graduating college, she set out on her path as a songwriter, releasing her debut album, and embarking on her rollerblade tour back home to NYC. From there, she inspired a sing-along crowd of 17, while opening for Bon Jovi on a coveted opening slot she earned from a songwriting contest and beat out subway performers to open and sing a duet with Wyclef Jean.
To date, Natalie has released a self-titled album, an EP, and four singles. Natalie looked to build on those early successes by creating an album that would define her as an artist, but it would ultimately take years of concerted effort before Natalie would find Moth To The Flame in its fully-realized form.
She is quick to admit the toll the arduous process had on her well-being. Many opportunities to take easier paths presented themselves. In greater numbers were the chances to throw in the towel completely. The obstacles, the personal challenges of taking care of an ailing family member, the professional challenges in the pursuit of perfection, Natalie willed her way through for the sake of the music. These songs have taught me to focus on the love you can give and the integrity with which you live your life.
