Incendiary by Chris Cleave



Incendiary was the first book from Chris Cleave I read. I was taken since the first line by the force and power of the woman who is the voice of this novel.
The story is told through a letter that this woman wrote to the man who headed the list of the most wanted until recently. She mourns the death of her husband and son. In that letter she tells her life story and how profoundly and irreversibly the tragedy affected her.
Mr. Cleave’s prose is powerful, the voice of the main character strong and her pain very real. Although this is a work of fiction, this woman’s life, pain, soul was so tangible that for long moments I actually thought I was reading an actual letter.
This book is available in paperback and Kindle.
