I guess you could say I've become a true Terry Tyler fan. This is interesting because hers are the only books I read and enjoy in this genre, but then that's possibly because hers is a genre all of its own. It is contemporary fiction with a strong focus on the contemporary. I would say it is very much 'reality fiction'. Nobody's Fault is almost starkly real - it is about the pain, the intensity and the complications of real life in what is ostensibly a very normal setting. It is also about great and enduring love. Terry's characters are all people we know or have met, and her skill is that she dips into the story almost everyone has lurking in their background and brings it to vivid and dramatic life. This is why we can relate so well to Nick and Adrienne, to Sharon and her internet buddies, to Nick's daughters, fighting their own teenage battles. This is a gripping and very well woven story told in different threads and at two different times, all brought together with a shocking twist. But... the end will see it right. A great 21st century read and another cracker from this talented author. Now where's the next?
