Now there’s really no jaw-dropping twists, turns or surprises (though the ending was fantastic!) and no great mystery to solve. Here we see how Grace met Jack we see the early days of their relationship and how things ended up the way they are in the present - a living nightmare. I enjoyed how the story alternated between past and present, told from Grace’s point of view. Still, it was one hell of a hair-raising journey. I actually thought the blurb gave too much away, and I wish I’d gone into this book without having read it. But the extent of it and the diabolical manner in which it’s executed is what’s shocking. Right from the very start, there is this intense sense of foreboding that grabs you right by the throat and doesn’t let go until the end.įrom reading the blurb, it’s pretty easy to figure out what’s really going on. ![]() But things are not as they appear as hinted at by the title, and that is the premise for this heart-in-your-throat domestic psychological thriller.

The word materia was chosen instead to indicate a meaning not in handicraft but in the passive role that mother ( mater) plays in conception. ![]() This emphasized silva as that of which a thing is made, but one that remained a substratum with changed form. ![]() However, Latin thinkers opted for a word that had a technical sense (rather than literal meaning). ![]() The Greek term's Latin equivalent was silva, which literally meant woodland or forest. The Latin equivalent of the hyle concept – and later its medieval version – also emerged from Aristotle's notion. The idea that everything physical is made of the same basic substance holds up well under modern science, although it may be thought of more in terms of energy or matter/energy. The Ancient Greek language originally had no word for matter in general, as opposed to raw material suitable for some specific purpose or other, so Aristotle adapted the word for "wood" to this purpose. ![]() ![]() ![]() If I have to range night and day to check "I despise a red thief like the devil despises virtue.
