But when a terror attack threatens her family, her world is turned upside down. When the government she has served targets her Muslim husband and sons, her loyalties are tested. And when her family is about to be torn apart, she must take drastic action to protect them.
A House Divided is a tense and timely thriller about political extremism and divided loyalties, and their impact on one woman.
Review
A House Divided is quite unlike any other book I’ve ever
read, focusing on politics, racism and family loyalty it’s a very intense and
dark read, but one which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Jennifer Sinclair is a loyal Labour government minister
working in the Home Office, a loving wife and devoted mother to her two boys. The
aftermath of a terrorist attack in Westminster slowly starts to turn her world
upside down as she battles to be loyal to her government but also to protect
her Muslim family. Jennifer is torn in two as she battles with government
policy to overcome racial attacks but also to protect her family who are
affected by the hate crimes and unrest emerging throughout the country.
Jennifer must decide if she supports the government or her family in this
intense and thrilling read.
Set in the present day and moving towards our future this
was very chilling in places to read as events in this could so easily be our
reality, if they’re not already and I found that quite unnerving to read about.
I found this book an incredibly gripping book which has been well thought out
and moves at fast pace, gradually gaining momentum as it came to a very climatic
ending, leaving me desperate to find out what happens to Jennifer and her
family next.
I can highly recommend A House Divided as an intense and
chilling read which you will not be able to put down. It’s opened my eyes to
many things and left me with many thoughts and questions. Thank you Rachel McLean
for introducing me to a new genre of writing, I can’t wait for your next book.
I’d also like to thank Rachel’s random Resources for sending
me this copy to read and invite me to be part of the blog tour.
About the Author
I'm Rachel McLean and I write thrillers and speculative fiction.
I'm told that the world wants upbeat, cheerful stories - well, I'm sorry but I can't help. My stories have an uncanny habit of predicting future events (and not the good ones). They're inspired by my work at the Environment Agency and the Labour Party and explore issues like climate change, Islamophobia, the refugee crisis and sexism in high places. All with a focus on how these impact individual people and families.
