M’s secret is told through the voice of the child who is at the centre of the story. It is the story of all children who have been abused but not believed and takes you through his terrifying journey and the stark reality of a little boy who desperately tries to be heard and loses everything by telling his secret.
A shocking and poignant contemporary novel that will leave you wondering how this could happen today. When the systems set up to protect children and on whom we place so much faith fail to protect M and others like him, we must all question our beliefs.
An important novel in today’s climate made more chilling when told through the eyes of a little boy who only wants to be safe and turns to those he is told will protect him, only to be disbelieved and damaged in the worst possible of ways.
