Book review: Now That I’ve Found You by Ciara Geraghty

Published by Hodder

Vinnie drives Ellen to her physio appointment every week. They never talk. Vinnie is preoccupied pondering how he will manage this week’s school lunches, teenage tantrums, pocket money and bedwetting.

This is his sole responsibility now, since his wife walked out of their home and away from their family.

Ellen is too far into the heartbreak and devastation of her past to notice what is going on around her. Existing in a static limbo, she is afraid and alone.

One taxi journey changes this forever, shocking both Vinnie and Ellen into finally opening their eyes and their hearts to each other.

In Now That I’ve Found You, Ciara Geraghty gently draws sorrow, happiness, excitement and fear out of her reader.

The journey she creates of Ellen and Vinnie’s relationship is intricate and cautious, yet consistently engaging.

A novel about parenthood, families, love and loss, Now That I’ve Found You is an enjoyable and moving read.
