I chose this book because when I read the blurb all it said
was “I am forbidden from telling” which I found very intriguing.
All the truth that’s in me is about a girl named Judith ,
Judith had been kept hostage for two years but before returning home her tongue
was cut off in a savage attack to prevent her from telling who the kidnappers
were. When Judith does return home she is considered as an improper lady or a
monster, so pretty much an outcast. Judith doesn’t have many friends but she is
in love with a boy named Lucas although Lucas is getting married to another
woman. Throughout the book Judith starts to realise that it is her silence
protecting her fromthe evil doers that wish to remain hidden.
“There’s a
curious comfort in letting go. After the agony, letting go brings numbness, and
after the numbness, clarity. As if I can see the world for the first time, and
my place in it, independent of you, a whole vista of what may be. Even if it’s
not grand or inspiring, it is real and solid, unlike the fantasy I’ve built
around you. I will do this I will triumph over you.”
This part
of the book shows that Judith is becoming more strong and independent, starting
to take over the situation.
I recommend this to anyone above 12 years old, as some parts
of it are quite gruesome although there is romance in the book so I would
recommend it more towards girls.
