Rebecca Grey can't shake off the hallucination she had while in hospital, but her alcoholic mother Bex is too wrapped up in the 'Great Grief' of her youth to notice her daughter's struggles to define dream from reality. After lurching from one poverty-stricken situation to another, and ghosts from the past are disturbed, Rebecca's dream comes alive. Why does the old woman who left them a sudden inheritance believe she is Rebecca's grandmother, and why did Bex swear to stop living when she was only nineteen? The setting of the novel transitions between the flat seascape of Skegness, the fields of Lincolnshire, the mountains of Ireland and the rolling hills of Leicestershire. Another Rebecca is a family story of secrets, interdependency and obsessive love.

Not an ordinary story By R is for Reviews This is the story about mother and daughter both named Rebecca, but as learning through the story, mum uses the name Bex because of the "Great Grief" she experienced before Rebecca was born. Bex's 'Great Grief' is also the reason Rebecca's life is not easy or ordinary. Bex, as her mother is alcoholic.The story is told by several characthers; Rebecca - the daughter, Bex~formerly known Rebecca - the mother, and Jack - ex husband of Bex and Rebecca's father. They told us each their own story about the life they are living.To be honest, at the begining of reading this novel, I thought that will not be able read the whole book. I have a rule that if I 'don't get it' or if 'I don't like' the first 20 pages of the novel, I stop reading. Strangely enough that it was Chapter Three that hooked me in and I'm not sorry. The story is complex and not easy, so perhaps is not quite a leisure reading, but worth reading nevertheless. Recommended.I got this book as a prize of a giveaway during the Another Rebecca's Book Tour. I was not forced to read it or to write a review. I did it as I wished to do it and I wrote it honestly.

By Leona I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, told from the perspective of three characters. Starting out with a dream sequence that finally makes sense near the end of the book. An amazing reality of how one event can change you and others lives!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Clever, complex and unusual By Terry Tyler 4.5 starsThis was a surprise hidden gem! It's been on my to-read list for a long time and I decided it was time to open it up ~ and I'm glad I did.Another Rebecca is a very unusual story, told from the points of view of Rebecca, a young woman with understandable psychological problems, her alcoholic mother, Bex, and her care-worn father, Jack. The first chapter is an insight into the mind of Rebecca when she is at her most confused, and I wondered if it was going to be the sort of book I liked (I am not one for weird dream sequences and is-it-fantasy-or-isn't-it stuff, generally), but it was sufficiently well written for me to carry on. The second chapter was a different kettle of fish altogether, from the point of view of drink ravaged Bex, raw, gritty, and much more my cup of tea, and I realised I was going to enjoy the book alot when I got to chapter 3, and Jack. Then, it all started to make sense, I got stuck in and read most of it in one day ~ I couldn't leave it alone.The novel goes back and forth from the present to various times in the past, and it's well structured, never confusing, with the years clearly shown, so it was easy to build up the complex history of the family. The author has a real talent for the written word, with the characters coming to life. Although the story is all about emotion, this aspect isn't laboured and there is plenty going on. I liked the way the nooks and crannies of the family's history unfolded, with just enough mystery to keep me doing that 'just one more chapter' thing. I would have liked to have seen more about what happened when the actual split between Rebecca's parents took place, and a bit more about the relationship between Jack and his new wife, but that's the only area I felt was slightly lacking.Looking at this book on Amazon I can see that it's hidden away in a dark side shelf, and with its unassuming cover it might be easy to overlook, but I can assure you it's worth picking up. A couple of the reviews say that it's hard to understand what's going on, but I think that says more about the reviewer - it's not confusing, it's complex and clever. Oh, and there's a lovely little episode of Tudor ghostliness, too! Nice work, Ms S-T :).
