Big Little Secrets by A.B. Whelan Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. Publishing April 26, 2022. Cover picture provided by Ms. Whelan.

Nelli and Clint’s tale is going to take you on an intense ride, at least it did me. Clint has a very domineering boss, Don, who didn’t understand why Clint felt the need to rush to Hungary to find his wife. In the end, Clint did just that … went to Hungary to find Nelli. He hadn’t heard from her and that was unlike her. He enlisted the help of his brother, Kenneth, affectionately called Barn (a very interesting character). There, they met Nelli’s high school friends, Daniel being one of them who also served as their interpreter as they couldn’t understand Hungarian. All Clint wanted to do was find Nelli and bring her home, but he discovered so much more.

Again, I found this to be an exceptionally intense read. The reader gets the sense of what it was like in Hungary twenty years ago and what it is like today. There are some things that happen in this tale that I was not expecting. There was one loose end that I was thinking wasn’t going to be answered but it was, and that truth was totally unexpected.
