Chapter 1: Saffyre

1 Saffyre

MY NAME IS Saffyre Maddox. I am seventeen years old.

I am mostly Welsh on my dad’s side and partly Trinidadian, partly Malaysian, and a tiny bit French from my mum. Sometimes people try to guess my heritage, but they always end up getting it wrong. If anyone asks I just say that I am a mixed bag and leave it at that. No reason for anyone to know who slept with who, you know. It’s my business really, isn’t it?

I’m in my first year of sixth form at a school in Chalk Farm, where I’m doing maths, physics, and biology because I’m a bit of a nerd. I don’t really know what I want to do when I leave school; everyone expects me to go to university, but sometimes I think I’d just like to go and work in a zoo, maybe, or a dog groomer’s.

I live in a two-bedroom flat on the eighth floor of a tower on Alfred Road, right opposite a school I don’t go to, because they hadn’t actually built it when I started secondary.

My grandma died shortly before I was born, my mum died shortly afterward, my dad didn’t want to know, and my granddad died a few months ago. So I live alone with my uncle.

He’s only ten years older than me, and his name is Aaron. He looks after me like a father. He works at a betting shop, nine to five, and does people’s gardens on the weekends. He’s probably the best human being in the world. I have another uncle, Lee, who lives in Essex with his wife and two tiny daughters. So there are finally some girls in the family, but it’s a bit late for me now.

I grew up with two men, and, as a result, I’m not that great with girls. Or, more accurately, I’m better with boys. I used to hang out with the boys when I was a kid and got called a tomboy, which I don’t think I ever was. But then I started to change and became “pretty” (and I do not think I’m pretty; I just know that everyone I meet tells me that I am), and boys stopped wanting to hang out as a mate and got all weird around me, and I could tell that I’d be better off if I could harvest some girls. So I harvested some girls, and we’re not close—don’t reckon I’ll ever see any of them again once I’ve left school—but we get on OK just as something to do. We’ve all known each other a long, long time now. It’s easy.

So that’s the bare outline of me. I’m not a happy, happy kind of person. I don’t have a big laugh, and I don’t do that hugging thing that the other girls like to do. I have boring hobbies: I like to read, and I like to cook. I’m not big on going out. I like a bit of rum with my uncle on a Friday night while we’re watching TV, but I don’t smoke weed or take drugs or anything like that. It’s amazing how boring you can get away with being when you’re pretty. No one seems to notice. When you’re pretty everyone just assumes you must have a great life. People are so short-sighted, sometimes. People are so stupid.

I have a dark past, and I have dark thoughts. I do dark things, and I scare myself sometimes. I wake in the middle of the night, and I’ve twisted myself into my bedsheets. Before I go to sleep, I tuck my bedsheet under the mattress, really hard, really firm, so the sheet is taut enough to bounce a coin off. The next morning all four corners are free; my sheet and I are entwined. I don’t remember what happened. I don’t remember my dreams. I don’t feel rested.

When I was ten years old something really, really bad happened to me. Let’s maybe not get into that too deep. But yes, I was a little girl, and it was a big bad thing that no little girl should have to experience, and it changed me. I started to hurt myself, on my ankles, inside my ankle socks, so no one would see the scratches. I knew what self-harming was—everyone knows these days—but I didn’t know why I was doing it. I just knew that it stopped me thinking too hard about other things in my life.

Then when I was about twelve my uncle Aaron saw the scratches and the scars, put two and two together, and took me to my GP, who referred me to the Portman Children’s Centre for therapy.

I was sent to a man called Roan Fours.

Not her best but still a gripping novel.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 17 agosto 2020

Acquisto verificato

I have become a great fan of Lisa Jewell's novels, most especially: Watching You and Then She was Gone, though I don't begrudge a minute of any of the seven that I have read. Invisible Girl lacks something of the sharp cutting edge of the writer at her very best but is still a compulsive read. Ms Jewell's forte is creating tension out of familiar domestic scenes. She excels at the cracks beneath the outwardly calm surface of relationships. Here, I feel there is not quite the depth, nor the subtlety that she provides at her best. Owen is a potentially interesting individual but somehow for me the threads are not drawn together as effectively, so that at times I felt I was almost reading two separate novels. Nonetheless, I was held throughout and perhaps I am being a trifle harsh on a writer who has come to lead us to the highest expectations.

Another terrible book

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 aprile 2021

Acquisto verificato

I had read several of Jewell’s books and have thought they were ok. Just ok, but nothing special. One (the family upstairs) was probably the best out of a bad bunch(which is saying a lot). Her books are generally easy to read linguistically, not taxing and can be devoured easily. This book was boring. I am
sorry but it was. There are no other words for it. It was not gripping, it did not twist, it was not unexpected it was plain boring. I always have to finish a book but I wish I hadn’t. It was predictable, nothing ground breaking and I am disappointed that I have read another book which is basically another books regurgitated. Come on Jewell this is unacceptable! I skim read a lot of it because frankly it was full of waffle, so I finished it in a day. I was expectant that there would be something dark, hopeful but it was a waste of paper that the words were written on. There is no plot, it isn’t developed quick enough. A girl goes missing but is hiding. A poor man has been accused just because he’s ‘odd’. A father cheated on his wife (again) and has some weird fetish. That’s it! Why was the father as a character not explored in more detail?!! Normally I pass on books to friends but this is one going straight to the charity shop. Please do not waste your money on this rubbish. I highly recommend, The Whispering Man, The Silent Patient or No one Home. These are far, far better and not from an author or who spits out any old nonsense. I will not be reading anymore Jewell books; it’s a waste of money and time. If I could give half a star I would!

Bravo!

I’ve read every single one of Lisa Jewell’s novels the minute they are published. This novel comes from a writer who is at the very top of her game. A magnificent book, it should be used in writing classes as an example of how to plot, and how to develop character.

I had to force myself to slow down and really savour this. The story, based around a sad, lonely and possibly quite creepy guy called Owen, grows with a slow, steady pace as tense as a stretched wire.

I found myself walking around worrying about Owen with his crooked haircut and unfortunate expression. Jewell touches on motherhood, incels, abuse, and fear but the tone is never preachy. Jewell has an absolute gift for making her characters spring off the page at you.

All of her books have this. She is so clever you feel a connection with some characters even though you are getting quite worried they might be evil. This is what enables her to explore complicated issues in a thoughtful way as she so humanises her characters. Every one of her novels has this lovely sympathy for her characters, despite their flaws. Jewell always find their humanity so your response to them is always multi-layered.

If you haven’t read Lisa Jewell I STRONGLY suggest you start now. This is SUCH a good book it hurt to read it, wrenched as I was with envy at her talent. But, like watching an athlete at the height of their powers there is something joyful about putting yourself in the hands of a master craftswoman like Jewell. She really does seem to just get better and better. Can’t wait for the next one.

Disappointing, not one of her best

I'm a huge fan of Lisa Jewell, but sadly didn't enjoy this one, I found it slow in places and once I put it down was in no rush to pick it back up. The whole storyline bored me and I struggled to finish it.

Fantastic read

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 agosto 2020

Acquisto verificato

Lisa Jewell is an amazing writer and this new book is another brilliant example of her layered story telling. The focus is between a teenager called Saffyre (who has disappeared) and the family of Roan, the therapist she was seeing for three years. Roan is arrogant and unlikeable, although his wife Cate is the opposite. Also playing a large part in the story is a character called Owen who lived across the road. Personally, I found him to be the most interesting character of all. He is a teacher but socially awkward, a loner who actually longs to be in a relationship. The way Lisa draws her story between the central characters is reminiscent of Ruth Rendell, which is a great compliment to her skill. I'm not giving any spoilers but I will say that I stayed up until two in the morning reading this as I had to know how it finished. It is an absolutely brilliant book, as are so many of her others. Highly recommended.
