Amanda Prowse has been a kind of hit and miss author for me. While I adored Three-and-a-Half Heartbeats, A Christmas Wish was a disappointment. I am happy to say I really loved The Light in the Hallway. The chapters were a bit long as many of them had flashbacks, to Nick's childhood, in 1992. Although this book is about a man and his teen son losing their wife/mother to cancer, it was also a very funny book. Some of the shenanigans Nick and his two buddies get up to, in 1992, made me laugh out l...
The story revolves around quite a few characters but the two main characters are Nick and his son, Oliver/Ollie. The story is told from Nicks perspective.Nick’s wife has recently passed away. She had been ill for over a year and Nick was with her every day. Oliver and Nick are devastated with her loss in their life. What follows is how they cope with the loss of a wife/mother but also with Ollie leaving to go to University. The storyline is told in the present time and flashbacks to when Nick wa...
Make sure that you have tissues when you are reading this book. It is a really beautiful and moving story. That will make you smile and make you cry. But it’s really lovely.
You know you’ve read (or are reading) a good book when you think about the characters while going about daily life, even after the book is finished, almost as if they were real, people you knew, could relate to, miss even…. And that’s exactly how you feel reading an Amanda Prowse novel. This one possibly more than others, as it was so real, so raw, so honest... Nick has just lost his beloved wife, his first love, and Mother of his only son to cancer. He is desperately trying to deal with the gri...
I have loved every book I have read by Amanda Prowse. She writes with so much passion that I can't help becoming a part of her stories. She is my go-to author when it comes to contemporary fiction, family drama, and emotion portrayal. When I saw that this wonderful author had written 'The Light in the Hallway' I just had to read her book. Wow, she did not disappoint!At the beginning of this book, the reader is told Kerry is dying. Left behind are her mother, sister, husband, and son. Her husband...
The Light in the Hallway, written by Amanda Prowse, ripped my heart apart and then put it back together piece by piece. Ms. Prowse is fast becoming one of my favorite authors when I need a warm, heartfelt story that I can wrap myself around and become immersed. She takes ordinary people and puts them in impossible emotional situations that will challenge them to their very soul. Her characters are well written and thoroughly developed, but most importantly, they are everyday people that are very...
I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.I know this has some really good reviews.But I just could not connect with the characters.It did not help with the story going back in time and found the story boring and far too long.This was a real struggle to finish.Far better books out there.
Well, Amanda Prowse has done it once again and delivered a beautifully written novel that will tug at your heartstrings and pull out all your emotions! In a slight twist to her usual strong female protagonist, The Light in the Hallway features a central male character and focuses on the loss of a loved one and how it affects family dynamics from a male point of view. Nick was with his wife Kerry from a young age and become a young father too. This meant that he didn’t proceed with his dreams of
Whenever I pick up an Amanda Prowse book, I know that I am going to find myself engrossed in the story and so it was with The Light in the Hallway. I always find that there is something about her characters which I find so relatable. She writes about her characters with great insight into their emotions so that it's hard not to be touched by their situations. Her characters are ordinary people, like people you may know and that's what makes her books so addictive. The situations they find themse...
