Today, I’m going to talk about an almost unknown book, a novel written by Sophie McKenzie entitled Close my eyes. Sophie McKenzie wrote many books but only this book has been translated into french. I have read this book a long time ago but this book affected me that’s why I chose it.
Eight years ago, Geniver lost her baby at the birth and now her husband, Art, wants to have another baby. Gen doesn’t want to « replace » her first kid with a second. One day, a woman announces to Gen that her baby, Beth, is alive. Everything is going to change …
I loved this book because there is a lot of suspense and the end was very surprising ! The author knows how to create tension. The reader is eager to know what’s going to happen. There is also emotion : even if you aren’t a mother, you would be affected by this story.
have you read this book ? Would you like to read it ?
It seems to be cool, it make me want to read it , may be one day.
Yes, this book is amazing (if you want it I can lend it to you) but perhaps it’s not « cool » there isn’t any humor if it is that you mean by « cool ».
It seems to be a very sad story !! But, it must be a good story as you said, with suspense, tension… I don’t know Sophie McKenzie….I suppose that, there is any screen adaptation to the cinema ? ( As you said it’s pretty unknown..).
You made a really good article with many informations about this book, the summary is really understandable , and the presentation of the book is pretty good !
It is the only book of McKenzie you read ? (even if it’s the only one translated in french you can have read others in English!!)
See you 😉
Yes but it’s rather a psychological story. You’re right, there isn’t any adaption to
the cinema. To my mind it’s better because there are many details in the book and I really don’t know if we can transcibe them to the screen. Thank you so much for your kindness! -You asked me if that was my first book of S.McKenzie- Yes it is and perhaps I’ll read other books (in english!) from this author. See you soon 🙂 !
