Set between Scotland, Canada and South Africa this is a dark and atmospheric thriller detailing the lives of 3 women Cora, her daughter Freya and Angel. The synopsis gives away very little and it’s quite hard for me to review while also not sharing any spoilers but I’ll do my best. This book was so different to what I expected. Orford is fearless in her storytelling, which given the content won’t be for every reader, but is very, very good.more As she did with her Clare Hart series, Orford centres her female characters and deeply explores real-life fears and salient issues such as abuse endured by women and children and its poisonous impact that lingers far beyond the violent act itself. Orford masterfully spins a chilling tale that takes readers into some uncomfortable, confronting areas, including child abuse and online pornography. Cora, Freya, Angel, and Yves all have secrets, and as their lives entwine and collide, the consequences could be deadly.

When art dealer Yves Fournier disappears from his cabin, Angel is determined to find him. Has Cora’s often-edgy art crossed a dangerous line? Meanwhile, a young woman named Angel cares for wolves in a snowy wilderness while trying to bury her past. But her fame recently turned to infamy thanks to her ‘Forbidden Fruit’ exhibition, which sparked a media and public furore and had police questioning Cora’s adult daughter Freya. With The Eye of the Beholder, Orford delivers something different in terms of setting and characters, while confronting some of the same tough issues (eg violence against women and children) as her series.Ĭora Berger is a renowned painter living in Scotland who tries to turn trauma into art, whether capturing the stories of women who’ve survived war crimes, or her own troubled childhood in rural South Africa.

I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.

However, the exploration of each characters trauma was done very well and although not an easy read, a quick read that perhaps needs more fleshing out regarding the main characters. I'm also not a huge fan of flashbacks which happened fairly regularly in this read.

A really dark story with strong female characters, but I didn't connect with any of them and also found the mother and daughter quite irritating. I received a free review copy from th This was totally different to what I was expecting.
