Catriona and James are
desperate for children, and embark on an IVF program. After a gruelling
round of treatments, Catriona finally falls pregnant, and they donate
their remaining embryo anonymously.
Diana and Liam are on a waiting list to receive an embryo. Sooner than expected, they are thrilled to discover one is available.
After
a difficult pregnancy, Catriona gives birth to Sebastian. But severe
postnatal depression affects her badly, and quickly turns into deadly
psychosis. For her protection and her baby’s, she’s admitted into
psychiatric care. When she comes home, she again struggles to bond with
her baby, but gradually life finds its own rhythm.
Meanwhile, Diana has given birth to a beautiful little boy, Noah.
But when he is two months old Noah is abducted … and Diana and Liam’s nightmare begins.
Where is Noah?
Review: I was given an ARC of Claiming Noah from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
This
book had all kinds of twist and turns and interesting subjects that are
going to make the reader sit down and think about when they are done
with this book. The first one being is IVF an acceptable way to get
pregnant? The second who is the legal parent of a child that is born
from an embryo? The ones who conceived the baby or the ones who gave
birth to the baby? These are just a few topics that are addressed in
this book that grabs the readers attention from the start and takes the
reader on a journey full of all kinds of surprises until the very end.
I
really don't want to get into the plot very much for spoiler reasons
but I will say this book had my mouth dropping in shock in a number of
spots. So if you like edgy books with a bit of controversial topics this
is a good read for you.
I am giving Claiming Noah five out of five stars.
