🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
Irresistible power of storytelling.
I first thought it was a confession from the teacher that she knows someone in the classroom killed her daughter.
No, it's more complicated than that, as suggested by the English title this is about "confessions" plural.
There are numerous confessions, they tell us what they did, saw or think, but what if they actually don't know the truth, or maybe they're not saying the truth?
It doesn't only reveal the crime scene but reveals the truth about the people they thought they knew well, or their weakness.
Confidence, friendship, motherhood, and the crime itself.
You cannot put down the book until you are sure of what really happened.
