Louise and Danny Rickshaw are an unhappily married couple. Louise has a cordial relationship with her mom, Gloria and is closer to her sister, Joey.
Louise is a victim of domestic violence who finds a way to furtively begin a journey to find her lost confidence and self-respect.
While Louise tries to remodel her life into a fulfilling one, women in her vicinity start dying. Accidentally, Louise finds out that the victims resemble her!
That is how the intrigue in the novel The Resemblance escalates.
As a reader, you try to unravel the mystery. You make guesses. Rest assured, the author Clarke Wainikka has the readers confused and engrossed.
The story of The Resemblance progresses smoothly. With every turn of the page, the book becomes more and more absorbing.
Author Clarke Wainikka closes all the ends of the novel. The author’s writing presents a strong woman who weathers all the storm to salvage her existence, not using the conventional methods.
Any human being who is or has been a victim of domestic violence must read this book. Sometimes we don’t understand the extent of what we are going through unless we see that happening to someone else. The graphic yet artistic description of all that Louise goes through makes author Clarke Wainikka’s writing a masterpiece.
No, don’t get me wrong! It takes a genius to describe the most gruesome circumstance or emotion with such a perfect metaphor that it somehow acts as a creative buffer to all the goriness around.
The Resemblance underlines the effect of childhood complexes, experiences, disappointments that shape a personality. The novel beautifully describes what draws some to self-destructive choices in live while there are others who can ignore their superego and succumb to the most animalistic instinct.
In a world where violence (physical, emotional and psychological) is on a rise, the novel will give the reader to question the existing nuances that drive everyday living.
For a beautiful, engrossing and artistically gorgeous novel, The Resemblance– we at WeLoveQualityBooks give author Clarke Wainikka’s realistic and captivating writing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -5 stars.
