#Blogtour #Review #Giveaway: It's Who We Are by Christine Webber @1chriswebber #ItsWhoWeAre20/1/2018 Release date - 16th January 2018
Book length - 306 pages Publisher - On Call Book Depository - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - www.amazon.co.uk Amazon US - www.amazon.com I want to thank Christine Webber for the opportunity to take part in this blog tour, a wonderful giveaway, and for providing me with a copy of this book for review. ABOUT THE BOOK It’s Who We Are is a story about five friends in their fifties who find themselves dealing with unforeseen upheaval as they uncover long-hidden and devastating family secrets. It takes place between October 2016 and June 2017, against a backdrop of all the political uncertainty and change in the UK, Europe and America. The novel is set in East Anglia, London and Ireland, and explores the importance of friendship, kindness and identity – and how vital it is to reach for what enhances rather than depletes you. MY REVIEW From the description of this book, I expected an easy, relatively predictable, enjoyable story that I could pick up and put down as and when I was in the mood. But IT'S WHO WE ARE by Christine Webber was more compelling and intriguing than I ever imagined and it never left my hand until I finished the final sentence (surviving the next day on four hours sleep was well worth it, trust me!). The story centres around five main characters who are all in their late fifties and loosely linked together from their past. But as each character undergoes a drastic change in their lives, old friendships will reform, new friendships will blossom, and feelings of love and laughter will give them the strength they need to survive their trials and tribulations. From affairs, an unplanned pregnancy, drastic career changes that will change so many lives, new love, and family illness, this story has it all. But let me tell you there will be plenty of shocking twists and turns along the way that will leave your mouth hanging open in surprise. With some beautiful scenery and a look at the changing political world and how it can affect your life on a daily basis, IT'S WHO WE ARE by Christine Webber is a story that really does have it all - drama, romance, secrets, tension, laughter, and friendship. This was my first time reading Christine Webber but it definitely will not be my last. IT'S WHO WE ARE by Christine Webber is a stunning contemporary story about friendship, life, and how you are never too old to go after what you want. A truly wonderful read!! Author Bio: Christine Webber originally trained as an opera singer but had to re-think her career plans when her voice professor commented: ‘Your voice is ok, but your legs are very much better!’ Musical theatre beckoned. There was some success. But not much. However, eventually, in 1978, she became a news presenter for Anglia TV. At last she had found something she enjoyed that other people thought she was good at. It was such a relief that she stayed for 12 very happy years. Towards the end of that period, her first novel, In Honour Bound, was published. Next, she became an agony aunt for various publications including TV Times, Best, Dare and BBC Parenting. She also wrote a column for the Scotsman and one for Woman called Sexplanations. During her ‘problem page’ years, she also trained as a psychotherapist and started a small practice in Harley Street, where she still works. She has written 12 non-fiction books including How to Mend a Broken Heart and Get the Happiness Habit. But finally, she has returned to her original love of writing fiction with Who’d Have Thought It? She says: ‘Mid-life women are so fascinating. Having explored their hopes, fears, insecurities and options in my book for female baby boomers, ‘Too Young to Get Old’ I thought it would be fun to fictionalise what I had learned. This book is the result.’ For more information: Website - www.christinewebber.com Twitter - twitter.com/1chriswebber GIVEAWAY For a chance to win a paperback copy of this wonderful book all you have to do is leave a comment below.
