Summary

The "OMG" romance of the year, The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh is a heart wrenching love story with a dark secret at its heart, for anyone who's waited for a phone call that didn't come.

Imagine you meet a man, spend seven glorious days together, and fall in love. And it’s mutual: you’ve never been so certain of anything.

So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him.

But he doesn’t call.

Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence.

What do you do when you finally discover you're right? That there is a reason – and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other?

The truth.

The man who didn’t

It was good. A few twists and turns and you have to pause reality for a little but enjoyable. Worked for me and I’m a man! Although I can’t hold a candle to Eddie, who makes things out of wood, is the nicest person in the world and bakes his own bread!

Loved this book

Definitely not predictable! I’m usually quite good at predicting, but the big twist in this story really took me by surprise and what started off as being a slow and not so captivating story, became unputdownable!! Made me cry but won’t spoil by saying whether happy or sad tears.

Lovely book

Really enjoyed this book. Very easy to listen to as the speaker has a clear voice and spoke at a good pace. There was a good twist that I didn’t see coming. Would recommend this to anyone who’s experienced heartbreak.

so beautifully written- a good story.

The author's use of the English language is outstanding- poetic without pretension; story was riveting with a very good twist. Will miss the characters!

Worth the wait

Kept me hanging and hanging as I arrogantly thought I knew exactly what was coming......nope!
Loved the narrator.
Has opened my mind a smidge more which is what great books do.
