Review
Voula's experience as a psychologist is evident in the way she expertly gets under the skin of the characters she portrays. One is hooked from the first page, the twists and turns of the plot keep you guessing right up to the end. --Leonie Mellinger, communication skills coach
Voula Grand's work combines a raw emotional honesty with a psychologist's insight into the human psyche. This novel is at once a real page-turner and a highly original portrait of the nature of betrayal. A must-read. --Jacqui Lofthouse, author of Bluethroat Morning
A tale woven with twists and turns and compelling characters. You won't be able to put it down. --Vanessa Woolley, Presenter, Marlow FM Book Club

Product Description
Honor's Shadow is a contemporary tale of betrayal and revenge. Honor and Madalena were rivals for the love of Thomas when they were young. Now middle aged, their paths have crossed again, awakening old feelings of rivalry and vengeance. Both women struggle to maintain control, as their lives become intertwined once more.A series of events (a painful anniversary, a new psychotherapy client, a photo of Madalena's daughter in a newspaper), have awakened disturbing memories in Honor. Through her work with Tisi, her strange new client, and her memory of a painful betrayal, she tries to work out what is driving her own unusual behaviour. Her efforts to contain the vengeful impulses of both Tisi and herself are failing. An old Greek myth provides a chance to prevent disaster; and ultimately reveals to Honor the drive behind her own desire for revenge.Honor's Shadow is a fable for our times, touching both lightly and deeply on the profound emotional issues that can ignite our worst fears.
