THINGS WE KNEW WERE TRUE marks Nicci\'s debut, an atmospheric, highly charged, elegant coming-of-age novel. At sixteen Edie knew things. She knew that her mother was charming and beautiful, that her older sister Stella was the star of the family and that her father, clumsy, quiet Vic, was loving and gentle. Then Edie discovered what it was to fall in love; she dared to let herself be happy. But in one terrible moment of tragedy, her teenage dreams were torn apart. Twenty years on, Edie is now a mother and a wife. When family duty calls, the sisters come together again, and it looks like the truth of what happened all those years ago may finally become clear.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The author is half of Nicci French, the best-selling crime novel collaboration formed with husband Sean French. This first novel on her own is entirely different, a poignant account of a self-conscious schoolgirl who loses her virginity to a local council house lad and feels embarrassed because her father catches them in a mildly compromising state. When her father loses his job and the will to live, committing suicide, she puts teenage romance behind her. Two decades later, her mother\'s death revives unresolved memories. Gerrard touches the pulse of family life and adolescence changed in a stroke. She gently sheds light on dark family corners, mistakes that were made and perspectives that have changed. Not a novel to shout about but quietly recommend as middle-of-the-road women\'s fiction.
