by Celia Rees
Quick review for a quick read. I didn't expect "This is Not Forgiveness" to be as emotional or as intense a read as it was, particularly considering where it began. It takes a bit getting used to because you're navigating between three different perspective points told in first person (in the print ...

As I heard it, this is not Celia Rees as I have ever seen her before.
