Some secrets remain buried for decades. Others refuse to stay hidden.
She has spent a lifetime carrying the weight of abuse, grief, and impossible choices. Growing up in a small Yorkshire village overlooking a quiet reservoir, she learned early that survival often meant silence. Behind closed doors, her family life was marked by fear, while the outside world offered only brief moments of hope through friendship, education, and dreams of a different future.
Now, at fifty-five, she has fled to Greece seeking peace at last. But when a newspaper reveals that her husband has been found dead and she is the prime suspect, the life she tried to leave behind begins to unravel.
As the past and present collide, she must confront the memories that shaped her, the people she loved, and the devastating choices that changed everything. Told through alternating timelines, Above The Reservoir is an emotionally rich novel that explores resilience, trauma, friendship, family, and the enduring search for freedom.
Heartbreaking, gripping, and ultimately hopeful, this unforgettable story will resonate with readers who enjoy powerful character-driven fiction and emotionally layered psychological suspense.
