I found a copy of Gill's book at the resort I was staying at on holiday. Intrigued, I looked her up and saw that she does regular give aways whilst traveling. She sounded like a cook chick so I gave Hidden from View a read. Not being much of a reader I thought Id end up putting it to one side , but instead I devoured it in 2 days.
This is a real edgy and raw story , set in Edinburgh then Adelaide and is based on a bunch of deviant people with various wants and needs. There is sex, violence and a bit of trauma but the message is empowering... you can take control and get your life back and not be defined by your past. The choice is yours to make.
It left me thinking long after I put it down and I know I need to read another of Gills books.
The author is witty, sassy, unabashed and not afraid to take you to the darkest corners of her characters minds. Amazing!
Wow! I did not know half of this stuff goes on in Adelaide! But its fascinating to get the insight into all those devious people who end up being connected without realising it. I ended up buying and bingeing on Gill's other 3 books too!
Enthralling could not put it down. Amazing twists and turns and suspense. If you like Irvine Welsh, Charles Bukowski and Hunter S Thompson and the like you'll love Hidden From View.
Wow! I was given this book as a gift and had never heard of the title or the author.... but so glad I dived straight in to read all about the seedy side of Adelaide! Not for the easily offended, this book does not hold back with the brutally honest look into family dysfunction and dirty secrets. This racy drama also contains references to abuse, sex and violence. It was no surprise to learn that Gill D Anderson is a child protection social worker in her day job. This is a tantalising yet horrifying read that will keep you reading on even if you think you shouldnt.... (Does contain trigger warnings).
A great look at the seedy side of Adelaide. Confronting and maybe offensive for some yet fascinating for others. Dont read if easily disturbed. Personally I think it takes great talent to intertwine characters like this and I have no doubt that all of these shenanigans go on in real life.
It made me read the next 3 books so it worked for me.
