Rosalyn's Reviews > Shadows in the Mind's Eye

This book has an unusual storyline, intriguing characters.

This is a book that has long been on my TBR shelf. It's a debut novel, so a new author, one I'd never read or heard of, so those books tend to get pushed down while I read others I'm more excited about.

But...when I finally started reading, I did not want to stop. This book isn't necessarily an extremely exciting one. But it had a way of captivating me.... it was not what I was expecting.
The setting is the 1940s. Annie's husband Sam has just come home after fighting in the war. He already knows he has to overcome the demons in his own mind.
Annie, frightened by him the day he arrives at home, has a hard time laying aside her fears. Can she really trust Sam? He was gone long enough she learned to be independent.
Can their marriage survive?
This story is rich and beautiful. It portrays PTSD. Marriage and relationship issues. And so much more.
There is also a mystery woven throughout. And this mystery takes the story is some very unexpected ways.
I found the book hard to put down, and once I reached the end, I was rather sad to be there.
