Into The Storm is a poignant exploration of grief and self-discovery, following GP Enya on a harrowing journey after a life-altering encounter. On a stormy winter night, she saves a boy who has been struck by a car, providing him with critical care. Yet, upon returning home to her husband and son, Enya finds herself grappling with unresolved grief from her mother’s death. As her birthday approaches—a painful reminder of her loss—she feels increasingly unanchored. In a moment of desperation, she abandons her family, her business, and everything familiar, retreating to a remote town in search of solace.Ahern masterfully captures the complexity of Enya’s emotions as she navigates her tumultuous inner landscape. Her conflict over ageing past the age her mother never reached is both relatable and deeply unsettling. Enya’s torment and anxiety paint a realistic portrait of a woman confronting significant life choices. While her flaws may make her a frustrating character at times, they also contribute to her authenticity, allowing readers to empathize with her struggle.The novel's depiction of mental health is raw and uncomfortable, effectively illustrating the weight of Enya’s emotional turmoil. This heavy subject matter, however, can lead to a slower narrative pace that may challenge some readers.Margaret, a secondary character, is a standout presence in the story. She is a deeply flawed individual who has made her share of mistakes, yet her complexity makes her relatable and enriching to the narrative. Her interactions with Enya provide valuable insights, highlighting the intricacies of human connection amidst personal chaos.Overall, Into The Storm is an immersive and heartfelt read that challenges readers to reflect on grief, identity, and the choices we make in the face of loss. Ahern’s thoughtful prose invites us to walk alongside Enya as she seeks to find herself amid the storm.Read more at The Secret Bookreview.

I remember reading PS I Love You and really enjoyed its vibrancy.Ahern has massively grown and matured as a writer and this is reflected in Into the Storm. The psychological insights are amazing and the unfolding of the story is enchanting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of secrets

C. · 17 October 2024

I seem to be going through a stage of struggling with books at the moment, and this one was the same. I really liked the idea of it, but really didn't like the main character so I have mixed feelings.Enya is the main character, she's a doctor who has been having marriage issues, her husband is a bit controlling, her 15 year old son Finn doesn't even seem to like her very much, and they live in her husband's late mother's house where her husband keeps it like a shrine to his mother, and she feels very claustrophobic there.Then on her way home on a very wet and stormy night Enya supposedly comes across an accident, a young boy the same age as her son is lying in the road, a victim of a hit and run, and she helps him, along with a taxi driver who has stopped, getting him to hospital.As both Enya and her husband Xander own and run a doctors surgery together their relationship strains and her mental health, which seems a bit all over the place, proves awkward and after Enya is offered the doctor's post at a very rural village she decides to take it to try and sort herself out. She initially antagonises the locals, but slowly, comes to actually like the place and the locals who are all very straightforward.Everything isn't quite as it seems, and I must admit I didn't figure it all out until the secrets started to be revealed towards the end of the book. I found it quite a dark book and I wasn't really sure what was going on most of the time, so I was quite glad to get to the end and figure out what it all meant to be honest! The ending was very satisfying though, and just the way it should have been.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mid-life crisis

H.W. · 21 October 2024

I was expecting this to be a light romance, in the vein of other novels by Cecelia Ahern that I had read previously.This is, however, more of a drama about a middle-aged woman who, after helping a teen victim of a hit-and-run the same age as her son, ends up leaving her husband and loving to rural Ireland to work as a GP.With this in mind, I really enjoyed this book. I particularly found the main character, Enya, to be very relatable and appreciated the supporting cast around her, particularly her sister and son.A recommended read for fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, The Authenticity Project, and MFCs who uproot their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant book by Cecilia ahern

A great book, kept me wanting to read, couldnt put it down. A surprising finish. I always look forward to reading a Cecilia Ahern book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A compelling page-turner

G. · 18 October 2024

I've not read anything by Cecilia Ahern before but I'm happy I have as once I started it, it was hard to put down. As a fellow writer, I loved the way the author maintained the pace and tension. At the end of each chapter, I seemed to always be saying - just one more, just one more. I also thought the inclusion of the rag tree and the folklore behind it added to the story and enjoyed how Enya's relationship to it altered over time as she become more accepting and accepted in her new environment. The link to water and her mother's death was also well woven into the story and as a result provided emotional resonance and an understanding to Enya's unravelling.4.5 stars.I'm looking forward to reading other books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely stories
