This is the first Sophie Hannah book I have read and I can say without a doubt that it won't be the last.
'Haven't They Grown' is a psychological thriller following main character Beth after discovering that her ex friend Flora has children which haven't aged and that they look exactly as they did 12 years ago. They should be teenagers and they still look the ages of 3 and 5 years old. Obviously anyone in that situation would want, even need, to understand how that could be at all possible, which is exactly how Beth feels so, she makes it her mission to find out the truth, even if her husband Dom thinks Beth is going a little crazy and certain that she couldn't possibly have seen what she saw.
I love the ambitiousness of Beth's character. The desperation she has in making her family believe her is superbly admirable. Another strong character, like him or not, is Lewis. His portrayal is pulled off so brilliantly.
A rollercoaster of twists and turns throughout with a plot ending that you won't see coming, this book will have you on the edge of your seat and you will be unable to put it down. I kept telling myself 'just one more chapter'!
Thankyou for my copy, I can't wait to read more from Sophie Hannah
