"Secrets in the dark" debut novel by Ceril Campbell

Debut Novel

Secrets In The Dark

Secrets in the Dark Ceril’s debut novel, is based on her insider knowledge of over four decades of working within the world of fashion and celebrity.

The Kings Road, Chelsea in 1970’s London is the epicentre for fashion, music and unlikely friendships – where it’s now cool for posh, privileged girls to mix outside their social circles. When two such teenagers meet and form a close and sisterly bond, their worlds are unexpectedly and suddenly torn apart as they each suffer personal traumas. Needing to escape London to hide their shameful secrets, they embark upon individual rollercoaster journeys of extreme highs and lows that take them to Paris, Los Angeles and the South of France, where men are rich, sex is a commodity, drugs are a way of life and a glamorous celebrity lifestyle is optional

'Ceril's writing technique was super evocative and the girl's traumatic journeys and the shame they were experiencing felt quite real and vivid. All in all, this book is about friendship, luxury, suffering and the power of real bonds. The end offers quite a twist and I would definitely keep on reading Campbell's future novels, since she's proven to be a gifted author.'

Amazon Review

'Ceril's writing style is fast-paced, making it easy to deep dive into the pages. She goes for an omniscient POV too, which is my nemesis 99,9% of the time. However Secrets in the Dark belongs to that 0.01%, because this is how you handle omniscient. The switching is there, it's-for lack of a better word-quick, even unobtrusive, not as ponderous as it often happens with this POV. I guess this is the only omniscient book I ever enjoyed to the fullest - well done'

Good Reads Review

'A wonderful book worthy of more than 5 stars!'
'Secrets In The Dark is a story of love, friendship, pain and suffering. The novel is written beautifully and the characters of Paula and Phoebe, as well as others, really come to life. I sympathised with the girls' pain but also envied their life of glamour. I did not want it to end. It is a book that really has you invested in the characters and their lives'
