“Once You Know is a complex, gripping novel about how that which is unacknowledged can do the most damage.”
Madeleine Van Hecke's remarkable novel, Once You Know, asks many insightful questions, continually adding new sober layers to an astonishingly complex and relevant subject.
"A gripping work of women’s fiction. Once You Know is evocatively written from the dual viewpoints of Rachel and her mother. The novel is incredibly strong due to these distinct character portraits – characters vividly portrayed with unique motives and pain, but drawn together by the bonds of family. This is a harrowing story with very difficult subject matter, and Van Hecke crafts this complex dynamic with nuance and commendable subtlety. At the end of the day it’s a story that will stay with you long after the last page has been read." Self-Publishing Review
