Synopsis
Doesn't every marriage have a dark side?
To the outside world Hannah married the perfect man. Behind the closed doors of their imposing home it's a very different story. Nathan controls everything Hannah does. He chooses her clothes, checks her receipts, and keeps her passport locked away. But why does she let him? Years before, in the midst of a relentless storm, the tragic events of one night changed everything. And Hannah has been living with the consequences ever since. Keeping Nathan happy. Doing as she's told. But the past is about to catch up with them. Set against the unforgiving backdrop of a Cornish fishing port in the ‘90s, this is a devastating exploration of the power of coercive control in a marriage where nothing is quite as it seems…
“The Storm is an evocative story of coercive control and the decisions – often disastrous – that we make in order to protect the ones we love. Amanda Jennings is a fantastic storyteller and she's at her very best here: warm-hearted, darkly atmospheric, and wholly addictive” LUCY ATKINS
“I was blown away by its brilliance. It's full of clutch-you-by-the-throat menace, fantastically drawn characters and a twist that made me swear out loud. I loved it!” MICHELLE DAVIES
“A brilliant book. Gripping, intelligent, and beautifully written” CASS GREEN
“Really enjoyed The Storm by Amanda Jennings – a chilling, atmospheric and addictive tale of secrets, lies, and the abuse simmering within a seemingly perfect marriage” ROZ WATKINS
