Summary
Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author Cathy Glass returns with her first novel. The Girl in the Mirror is a moving and gripping story of a young woman who tries to piece together her past and uncovers a dreadful family secret that has been buried and forgotten.
When Mandy learns her much-loved Grandpa is dying, she is devastated and returns to the house where she spent so many wonderful summers as a child. But the childhood visits ended abruptly, and those happy days are now long gone. Having lost touch with the rest of her family, Mandy returns as a virtual stranger to her aunt's house to nurse her grandfather. Mandy hardly recognises the house that she had loved so much as a child, and it is almost as though her mind has blanked it out.
But as certain memories come back to her, Mandy begins to piece together the events that brought a sudden end to her visits that fateful summer. What she discovers is so painful and shocking that she understands why it was buried and never spoken of by the family for all those years.

A very well told story
The subject matter of this book is disturbing, but very well written. You can feel the anguish of a little girl wronged, and then she discovered the truth so long hidden. Brilliantly narrated.

Fantastic tale
It's writing to Cathy's normal high standard but as a story rather than time-lined as the memoirs are.
My only complaint, and believe me it's minor, is that with Danica narrating I got confused occasionally that it was fiction based on a true story.
Having said that, the narration was to its normal extraordinary standard so I am not really complaining. These two really are the perfect partnership for me.

well written and engaging
Cathy Glass's fostering memoirs are well written and very moving. I love the little details Cathy gives that has made me fall in love with each and every child she writes about and her own family. I have listened to every book at least 3 times. They give an insight into the world of fostering, adoption and parenting that has, I believed made me a better teacher and parent - more patient, more understanding and generally more aware. Along with other fostering memoirs, these books have inspired my mum to consider a fostering carer and I hope to foster once my own children are older. Thank you Cathy

I enjoyed it
Minor spoilerish warning
I quite enjoyed this story and listened to the whole thing within a few days. There is one issue I do have however, for an author who is meant to be a foster carer (all books I have also enjoyed) it's a bit worrying how unrealistic the legal side of this was. If a child is taken to a doctor with ANY sign or suspicion or abuse they would be required to report it, yet in the story it is for some reason left for the parents to do so.

Superbly written & read
Loads of twists and turns that will keep you away from the stop button. Loads of ‘Oh NOs’ and ‘never expected that’ Brilliant

Not what I was expecting
I thought this may have been a similar format to Cathy Glass's other audiobooks, regarding her fostering. However, this was completely different. A story with depth and emotion, but for me, difficult to get into. I enjoyed listening, but found myself getting fed up with repetitive phrases and words. "Cried openly" "Bastard" etc. Overall I would give this audio a 3/5.
