"Escape (Rough Hewn part 2)" by Nadia Kilrick is a gripping thriller about a young woman in an absuive marriage. Although it is the second in a series the book is easy to follow as the story is set 200 years after the first book.Our heroine Carrie married the wrong man, Jim, who abuses her in every possible way, but throughout the book we learn even more about the full extent of his monstrosity. When her old flame comes back into her life she finds a new support and motivation to "Escape" her miserable life.This is a well written, fast paced and deep running drama with strong characters, particulalry our heroine Carrie who is far from the helpless victim I had come to expect when I first read about the story. Powerful plotting and excellent attention to detail make this a very rich and multifacetted reading with strong subplots and unpredictability. The heart wrenching and gutting moments brought the horros and the drama of the story home with a vengeance.This is a moving and engaging read that won't let you get away until you have finished the last page.Well done.
