Sinopsis

In "The Hidden Children," Robert W. Chambers weaves a haunting tapestry of themes surrounding love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of a decaying urban landscape, the narrative is enriched with Chambers' signature lush prose and an atmospheric eeriness that evokes the aesthetic of the late 19th century. The book delves into the intricate lives of those often overlooked by society, offering a unique perspective on their hopes and struggles, while simultaneously embracing the fantastical elements that blur the line between reality and dreams. Robert W. Chambers, an influential figure in the fin de siècle literary movement, is known for his explorations of the macabre and the mystical. His experiences as an artist and a member of New York's bohemian elite profoundly shaped his literary vision, leading him to craft characters who embody the elusive nature of identity and belonging. Chambers' fascination with the supernatural, borne from his avant-garde influences, finds its full expression in this work, making it a vital part of his oeuvre and a commentary on the era's social dynamics. For readers drawn to literary fiction that pushes the boundaries of genre while exploring the deeper facets of the human experience, "The Hidden Children" is a compelling read. Its rich language and poignant themes make it not only an escape into a beautifully crafted world but also a thoughtful reflection on the unseen lives that continue to linger around us.

    All families have secrets. Some protect. Others destroy. 
    Three sisters. A last wish from their dying mother. Can they forgive her? 
    Brenda Smith shouldn’t feel lucky – she’s only got months to live, if that. But knowing this means she’s got one final chance to make peace with the grown-up daughters she’s not seen since she did something terrible decades back. 
    Emily, her eldest daughter, moved on. She’s got a good job, nice family and a daughter of her own on the cusp of adulthood. Appalled by how her own mother tore the family apart, she could never do the same – or could she? 
    Teresa, the middle child, learnt the hard way that she could only rely on herself – and if she wanted nice things, she’d have to go out and get them, by any means possible. She’s not proud of some of her choices – and it looks like it’s time for her to pay the price. 
    And Shannon, the youngest? No one’s been able to reach her for years. She left home to outrun her pain but some things can never be escaped, only confronted. 
    Will facing the truth set them free – or shatter even more lives? 
    The novel weaves together the sisters life stories into a suspenseful narrative that reads like a series of thrillers. As they grapple with the truth and the potential legal consequences of their actions, the tension mounts, making for a thrilling read. 
    For fans of Kerry Kaya (Revenge), Alex Kane (The Angels), Gillian Godden (The Street), Heather Burnside (Vengeance), and Mandasue Heller (Running Scared).
