'No one writes about modern family with more truth or authenticity than Fiona Neill' LISA JEWELL
'A stunning, almost hypnotic read that pulls you under. Completely engrossing' Reader Review *****
Everyone is talking about Grace's family.
But for all the wrong reasons . . .
Grace wanted to give her daughters the childhood she never had. And with teenage golden girl Lilly she's never had to worry.
But when Lilly mysteriously collapses at school, Grace's carefully ordered world crashes down. It turns out Lilly isn't the perfect daughter after all and Grace becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth.
Which is when she takes her eyes off her youngest daughter, Mia and learns that the closer the family, the darker the secrets . . .
Beneath the Surface explores the weight of the past upon the present, the burden of keeping secrets and what happens when children get caught in the undercurrents of adult relationships.
'A rich, dark and satisfying read about the complexities of modern family life. I adored it' JANE FALLON

Recenzii
A sophisticated parable of modern family life . . . Well-paced and intriguing
Neill describes human dysfunction with such compelling empathy . . . richly tense and deeply satisfying. I didn't want to finish!
With her trademark dark humour and incisive observations of family life, Neill takes the reader on a fascinating, moving and intelligent journey to the truth
A rich, dark and satisfying read about the complexities of modern family life. I adored it
One of the most intelligent, engaging and perceptive writers about family life . . . beautifully told with great suspense. It is impossible not to become engrossed in the trials and tribulations of the Vermuyden family as secret histories unravel
This deft study of family dynamic sees Grace wanting to give her two daughters a better life than she had
An acutely observed story of the complex dynamics of family life and the challenges of navigating young friendships and relationships. Neill has created utterly believable, flawed yet likeable characters and a gripping drama
It's a tense, intricate and whip-smart drama that peels back the lid of a seemingly 'perfect' family and reveals the dark truth underneath. The characters are brilliantly drawn, the bubbling undercurrent of foreboding is palpable and there's a slam-dunk of a twist too. The perfect read to lose yourself in on holiday this summer
Praise for Fiona Neill
Exquisitely drawn and perfectly realised, no one writes about modern family with more truth and authenticity than Fiona Neill
Raises all kinds of contemporary issues with wit and sensitivity
A novel made for heated book club debates
Vivid and insightful, and Neill has a trained eye for the pressures and poignancies of modern family life
A topical, tense and addictive read
A vivid and insightful portrayal of a family in crisis; Neill's writing is incisive, smart and at times darkly funny. A writer at the top of her game
Thought-provoking and stands out from the crowd
Neill writes with verve, honesty and breathtaking insight. Utterly unputdownable
Sometimes touching, sometimes shocking
A rollicking read that should not be picked up at bedtime, or you'll be done for in terms of a good night's sleep
Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before
Neill's plotting is beyond compare . . . an utterly absorbing account of deception and desire
I thoroughly enjoyed this brilliantly observed novel about a family in meltdown
Cracking
Contemporary issues are tackled here with both humour and realism, making for an engrossing read
