I wasn't selected to receive a copy of this book but purchased it online. This book shows the secrets of Joyce Haney who disappears from her home in the town one sunny August afternoon leaving behind a bloodstained kitchen and two frightened little girls.

This mesmerising book by Inga Vesper is wonderfully written. The author looks deeply into the historical side of the era and society’s view of women’s roles, civil rights, domestic abuse and mental health. We get to know Joyce through the eyes of her husband, friends and maid and from the woman herself, in glimpses of her that August day.

It's a fantastic book which draws you in and keeps you reading to the last page, I could picture this being a film.The Long, Long Afternoon is a decadent piece of classic novel. Don’t miss this breathtaking debut from an exciting new author, can't wait for the next book.
