Louise Jensen has taken a very complicated and life changing condition and woven it into the heart of a story which is ultimately quite twisted and very compelling.Īli is someone we can perhaps all recognise, recently separated, living with a friend and trying to get her life back on track. Now this is not the first time I have read a book around the subject of prosopagnosia, or in layman’s terms – face blindness – and as I have another book along a similar vein, it won’t be the last either, but I have to admit that in spite of this I find the whole idea and subject matter fascinating. This is exactly what you are provided, once more, when you pick up a copy of The Date, her latest psychological thriller. Two things you can be pretty confident of when you pick up a book by Louise Jensen is that a) you are going to have a really good time reading a book by a very assured and capable writer and b) you better prepare yourself for a flipping roller coaster of a ride as she turns your understanding on its head and manipulates your feelings with nearly each and every page turn. Worse still, when she looks in the mirror, Ali doesn’t recognise the face staring back at her… She is home, she is alone, she is hurt and she has no memory of what happened to her. She wakes, and she knows that something is wrong. By Sunday morning, Ali’s life is unrecognisable. She is about to take a step into her new future. She is ready, she is nervous, she is excited. Recently separated from her husband, Ali has been persuaded by her friends to go on a date with a new man. ‘I know it as soon as I wake up and open my eyes… Something is wrong.’ I’ll be sharing my review shortly, just as soon as we’ve taken a look at the all important book stuff. My thanks to Kim Nash of Bookouture for inviting me to join the tour and providing an advance copy of the book for review. Today it is my great pleasure to be joining the blog tour for The Date, the latest psychological thriller from author, Louise Jensen.
