Show Me Where It Hurts: The searingly beautiful debut novel about loss and learning how to live again

Show Me Where It Hurts: The searingly beautiful debut novel about loss and learning how to live again

A 2025 BOOK TO WATCH IN THE IRISH TIMES, SUNDAY INDEPENDENT, AND RTÉ GUIDE

'A searingly beautiful novel'

Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

'Outstanding, and has lingered in my head for a very long time'

Prima

How do you survive the unsurvivable?

Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it's the comfortable family life she always thought she'd have. All of that changes in an instant - when Tom runs the family car off the road, seeking to end his own life, and take his wife and children with him. Rachel is left to pore over the wreckage to try and understand what happened - to find a way to go on living afterwards.

What emerges is a snapshot of what it's like to live alongside someone who is suffering, how you keep yourself afloat when the person you love is drowning, and how you survive irreparable loss.

Impossible to turn away from, Show Me Where It Hurts is utterly compelling and heartbreaking. It is a story of recovery and unexpected hope.
