My Review

34 days starts off simply enough, with Anna leaving her abusive husband on her wedding anniversary. Her children love their father but they do know about the physical abuse on mum. Her daughter-in-law Jenny, who has been cold towards Anna for some unexplained reason, since her marriage to Mark, (Anna's eldest son), makes contact with Anna, and informs Anna that she is going to kill Ray! Whoa... I didn't see that coming. Anita Waller certainly knows how to have an impact on her readers. No chance of me falling asleep reading this. I loved two characters in particular, which was Anna and her rekindled old flame Michael. The characterisation was wonderful. I hated Jenny with a passion. Wonderful writing. The story is powerful and too powerful to appease my wishes for the ending. But it's not over yet. It continues in the next instalment Strategy, which I will be reading soon.
