A Better Man, by Louise Penny
5.0
"That twisted reality, until malice and truth were intertwined and indistinguishable." - A Better Man
“Words are like feathers… It is so easy for them to come out, and they scatter on the wind before you know it. But like feathers, our words are not easy to gather back up again. Once out of your mouth, you simply cannot take them all back.” - The Witness Wore Red
I have just read two books in a row in which words play an important part. One book fiction; the other non-fiction. Both books, interestingly and not intentionally on my part, about abused women and the cycle of abuse.
Louise Penny highlights social media and it's effects on society today in her book, A Better Man. She also wraps an abusive relationship up into a murder. And through the main character, Gamache, she present to the reader three questions to ponder before speaking: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
There is some language in this book.
