Little White Lies
Anne White only looked away for a second, but that’s all it took to lose sight of her young daughter.
But seven years later, Abigail is found.
And as Anne struggles to connect with her teenage daughter, she begins to question how much Abigail remembers about the day she disappeared…
This promised so much and delivered so little.
Abigail has been missing for seven years. She disappeared when she was eight years old. Suddenly she walks into a police station with another little girl.
It then starts to become so unbelievable. Abigail goes straight home, where as I thought she would have been hospitalised for medical and psychiatric tests. This wouldn't have been left for the parents to organise, especially as there was to be a trial of the man who abducted her.
The narrative was from two points of view. Anne, Abigail's mother and Jess her cousin and best friend. I found it hard work the jumping between the two and Jess just irritated me the whole time.
The whole family wasn't likeable or believable in any way and the story just dragged on while we are trying to work out what the little white lie was.
