adidasMEN'S SPORT INSPIRED GLENN M SHOES

House Woman was an interesting premise for me – the blurb promised an unsettling thriller regarding an arranged marriage with a wife who perhaps, wasn’t all she seemed.I was a little disappointed with the book if I’m honest, and this was mostly down to the writing style. The narrative was disjointed and very confusing. The chapters skip between perspectives – some from people who are not integral to the plot, or people we never really hear from again which is odd. They also jump between flashback and present day which is confusing and then some sections are just daydreams rather than reality, or deliberately mislead us by missing information out. This helps to create an unreliable narrator, and should have been a clever technique, but used here it just adds to the confusion. The last two chapters are from characters we have never met before and give far too much un-needed backstory about their lives, which was so frustrating when we just want to find out what’s going on with the main storyline.I think I was misled by another reviewer who raved about ‘the twist’ of the book so I was expecting a delve into Sci-Fi or Horror at some point. Unfortunately, I have to say that I don’t really think anything in the plot constitutes as a ‘twist’. There are a few reveals along the way, but these seemed very signposted in the plot so I wouldn’t call them twists. There are a lot of threads of the plot left unresolved or unanswered and I was really disappointed by the ending which didn’t seem to wrap anything up. The prose is nicely written in places but there are some really disgusting bits of imagery which made it hard to read.Overall House Woman wasn’t for me – with a disjointed and confusing narrative, a flat plot and an ending which didn’t really resolve anything.
