Beyond All Evil

Product Description

June Thomson & Giselle Ross are inextricably linked by two unspeakable acts of evil. On the same day a few miles apart their estranged husbands slaughtered their children. The murders were not driven by rage or committed in moments of madness. They were planned & carried out with chilling precision to inflict the worst pain imaginable. June & Giselle did not know each other. Tragedy is all that binds them; they were destined to come together as sisters united by pain grief & a sense of loss so immense that it would drive both to the brink of madness. Junes life with Rab Thomson had been a dark & turbulent existence characterised by mental torture physical violence & rape. Giselles relationship with Ashok Kalyanjee had been a strange & distant affair of lives spent apart before during & after marriage. But both relationships had produced two beautiful children & the women believed that their misery was in the past. Both mothers believed it was important to allow the fathers access to their children. On that fateful Saturday in May 2008 neither could have conceived that the men they had once loved would do anything to harm their children. But they were wrong so terribly wrong. Nothing can bring their children back. But June & Giselle have one solitary comfort: they are no longer alone. Their lives may have been torn apart but they have each other. Together they are stronger. This is the story of their parallel journeys: of the dreadful days before during & after the murders of their children. Told in their own words with searing honesty of their pain & guilt it is a story of endurance friendship & survival against the odds. It is not a story for the faint hearted but it is a story that must be told for in the end it is a testament to the human spirit.
