The Art of Hiding by Amanda ProwseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is not the kind of book I usually read, but after reading the blurb, I thought this would be a good book to listen to. I found that it certainly was!! It was full of heartache, hurt and learning how to move on.
It was so hard for Nina to not only uproot her life but those of her kids, Connor and Declan. They were living in luxury and had to learn how to live with the bare minimum. It was difficult for the three of them, trying to find balance without the luxuries they used to have. I also liked that Nina was given a chance at something new and that she was able to thrive.
Nina’s sister Tiggy was great. She pushed Nina to make choices and to see that she was better than the rich housewife that she was. Their relationship grew and it was sweet to see how much they relied on one another. I liked the change for all of them, it was difficult, but they all grew into better people. It was a truly a moving read, and was a fantastic book to listen to.
