I have to admit that this book spent a lot of time on my bookshelf before I actually picked it up to read it but it was worth the wait, definitely. It was the first book I had read written by Josephine Cox and I was instantly sucked into the story of a woman who got stuck in a situation she should not have been and spent most of her life in hiding from the truth... Although it took me a little while to get into the story, it was worth it.

Josephine Cox
A vida que nunca te contei
Songbird
Crítica/Opinião
Por: Isabel Alexandra Almeida/Os Livros Nossos
O romance “A vida que nunca te contei” da autora Britânica Josephine Cox, com a chancela de Publicações Europa-América, traz-nos de volta a um género por vezes esquecido da literatura, que poderemos livremente apelidar de romance dramático, que poderá ser também caracterizado como literatura feminina.
Trata-se de uma obra escrita de forma exemplar, com uma linguagem fluída mas também algo elaborada (sem que tal prejudique a inteligibilidade da obra e antes afastando a mesma da categorização, tantas vezes perjorativa, de literatura light). A autora transporta-nos numa viagem que, temporalmente, decorre entre 1978 e 1996, tendo por cenário cidades Britânicas como Bedford, Londres, Blackpool, Bedfordshire e novamente Bedford. A obra apresenta-se estruturalmente dividida em cinco partes, num total de 25 capítulos não demasiado extensos ( o que também facilita a leitura), sendo a narrativa feita de uma forma circular, na medida em que a acção é narrada no presente (Bedford em 1996), seguindo-se três partes que correspondem a analepses, e terminando no mesmo local em que tivera início, de forma surpreendente.
A personagem Central da obra é Madeleine Delaney, outrora cantora conhecida entre o público da Noite Londrina, tendo sido cantora residente no Clube Pink Lady, propriedade do sedutor, violento e inescrupuloso Steve Drayton, com o qual manteve uma relação destrutiva, e cujo medo persistirá ao longo de vinte anos como um terrível fantasma do passado que persiste em atormentar Maddy, e vedar-lhe o acesso a uma vida tranquila, livre e plena, pois que o confronto final com Steve Drayton, em Londres ficará sempre gravado na mente de Maddy, que não esquece a ameaça a si dirigida pelo homem que tanto amou “ - A tua carta está marcada sua cabra. Não deixes de olhar por cima do ombro. Dia e Noite, onde quer que tentes esconder-te, eu encontrar-te-ei.”
É também ainda em Londres, enquanto cantora no Pink Lady, que conhece a sua melhor amiga e protectora Alice Mulligan, o dedicado Jack e o prestável Raymond, amigos dos quais se verá tragicamente separada.
Em Blackpool, onde se refugia na companhia de Ellen Drew, que conhece acidentalmente em Londres em circunstâncias gravosas para ambas, conhecerá momentos temperados com bastante ternura e quase encontra uma nova família e Ellen e no seu simpático avô Bob (a personagem mais simpática, carinhosa, divertida e positiva da história), mas o destino força-a a fugir novamente, e em Bedfordshire encontrará Brad Fielding, um sofredor e simpático Veterinário, viúvo e com um filho ainda menor, também ele uma vítima das circunstâncias da vida, mas um lutador incansável. Mais uma vez, não o destino, mas a traição de alguém que julgara ser-lhe leal, separam Maddy de um local seguro e quase põem fim à sua vida.
Em 1996, encontramos novamente a personagem, já com cinquenta anos, descuidada e perturbada mentalmente (depressiva, paranoide, apática e isolada socialmente), será ajudada por um casal de jovens estudantes universitários, seus vizinhos que a socorrem de um problema de saúde. E sabemos então o desenlace final da história desta personagem dramática, com elevada carga psicológica, e que nos faz pensar na gravidade da violência exercida contra tantas e tantas mulheres que não vislumbram inicialmente o perigo que correm em relacionamentos amorosos que estão condenados à partida, como se lhes escapasse toda a lógica e racionalidade para julgar o carácter dos agressores, que muitas vezes as manipulam.
As personagens podem facilmente distinguir-se entre bons e vilões, a narrativa é rica em detalhes que permitem caracterizar diversos espaços sociais, desde a vida nocturna Londrina em finais dos anos sessenta (em moldes que, se abstrairmos da época e espaço, nos chegam a fazer lembrar algumas descrições próprias de policiais noir povoados por Gangsters ao estilo de Al Capone), passando pela vida modesta da classe média em Bedford, ou o ambiente agradável e sereno de uma pequena povoação balnear Britânica (Blackpool) que nos evoca por vezes, as férias estivais, deixando-nos curiosos para conhecer directamente as paisagens, onde acabamos por simpatizar até com as vizinhas coscuvilheiras da povoação, e tomamos também contacto com a vida numa típica quinta Britânica (em Bedfordshire).
Podemos encontrar descrições abundantes e claras dos locais onde decorre a acção, as personagens vão-se dando a conhecer, nos seus vícios e virtudes, forças e fraquezas, quer pela caracterização do narrador quer pelos seus diálogos e interacções diversificadas.
Denotou-se alguma diferença no ritmo narrativo nos quatro primeiros capítulos da obra, sendo que, daí em diante, o ritmo vai gradualmente acelerando, apenas nos pareceu menos necessária à construção da narrativa a descrição do ambiente entre os estudantes universitários vizinhos de Madeleine no início da obra, se bem que, na parte final, acabamos por entender melhor a pertinência de tal menção. O romance é pautado por um permanente clima de tensão e suspense que incentiva o leitor a avançar na sua leitura, e inevitavelmente, a questionar-se sobre se, em algum momento, Maddy encontrará a paz e a felicidade tão merecidas e desejadas, bem como o reencontro com algumas das pessoas mais importantes da sua vida, em termos positivos.
De um modo geral, podemos considerar que a narrativa é fechada ( com conflito, climax e desenlace) , mas a nosso ver, existem alguns pormenores da história que bem poderiam dar lugar a um novo livro, e que, em nossa opinião, não foram totalmente explorados pela autora.
Em suma, uma obra de elevada qualidade literária, que prende os leitores do início ao fim, apenas com a ressalva do ritmo dos quatro primeiros capítulos, com descrições de alguma violência, uma forte carga psicológica, e a levar a reflectir, por exemplo, sobre valores como a amizade, a lealdade (até onde vai a nossa lealdade e amizade?), e acaba por nos transmitir uma salutar mensagem de esperança perante muitas das adversidades da vida. Gostámos e recomendamos a leitura !

I really enjoyed this book even though I was a bit apprehensive as it was likened to Martina cole books, I read a couple of hers but found them a bit violent and gruesome, this was a lot milder. I also feel a bit disappointed with books where the main character has a crap life. I also felt the ending was very unfair! I was left thinking wt??? Which is why I gave it 3 stars....But at the same time it was a happy ending.

Songbird, by Josephine Cox, a writer from the U.K., was an interesting story that had me wanting to find out what happened to young Maddy Delaney, whose angelic voice had captured the hearts of many listeners, but not the heart of the evil man she had fallen helplessly in love with. When things fall apart, Maddy finds herself on the run ... old friends are gone ... new ones always seem to be there to help Maddy through the darkest times of her life. But, evil has a way of finding Maddy, no matter where she goes, and this plummets her into the shadowy world of depression and becoming a recluse.
Is there a happy ending for Maddy ... you must read the book to discover this. Songbird is a comfortable read, and you will not be disappointed.

My first Josephine Cox novel and not what I expected. The first third of the book tells the story of a naïve singer seduced and abused by a club owner. I thought: another story about a woman being abused who just allows it.
And how I was proven wrong!
The characters were penned down brilliantly - even the villian - you really hate them.
A very well written book with unexpected twists which is truly believable.

Another new author that I’ve found, this book was really easy to read and I wanted to know what happened to the characters, with some books that doesn’t happen. I’m glad in the end she found Brad again and Alice, however is wish she brought Michael back to live with her, I think she gave up to easily. It would have been better if it was longer near the end and gave a bit more story to what happened to Drayton and the drama that could unfold if she took away Michael from Ellen.

I've only read 3 chapters, so it's probably best to avoid my review and read others.
The book is old and completely out of style now in my opinion. I read through the first 3 chapters just baffled at how everyone was talking to each other. These were supposed to be slightly drunk, stoned university or college students, and they were talking like they were some 18th century ladies gossiping.
"She seemed such a sorry little thing, all depressed-looking and dishevelled. But in the split second when she grabbed the matches from me, she looked up"
... Really? That's how you talk to your friends?? Mind you, I didn't study to be a doctor or lawyer and I sure didn't take history at university, so I don't know. Maybe people do actually speak like they when they're in that field?
The way she described Madeleine and what she was thinking felt so over dramatized like some weird telenova bs, that I felt like the author never actually befriended anyone who lived through trauma. Like, yeah, sure, as an author, let your imagination fly, but at least do your research so your book sounds realistic and relatable...

This was a book-club book and being completely honest, I would not have finished it.
I know this is fiction but there was so much about this book that didn't ring true. The beginning draws you in immediately and i thought, this is going to be a great read, but then it just fizzled out, became unrealistic and quite boring.
This book actually split our group down the middle, love it or not, I didn't enjoy it.

I was given this book to read by a friend. I haven't read many of this authors books, but this was a good one. The main character sure went through alot. I'm glad she had a happy ending, but it did surprise me. I don't know if I could have done what she did, but maybe as the years went by like they did for her, a woman might.
I will just leave the ending like that.

This story was a bit disappointing. Maddie absolutely frustrated me especially at the end regarding her boy. After her year of isolation I think the good ending happened too fast and did not seem very real.

‘Songbird’ is the first book I read by Josephine Cox. It’s really not my kind of book. It took a long time to tell an unexciting story. It could have been so much better. I won’t be reading another Josephine Cox book. It was a bit too Mills & Boon for my taste.
June 23, 2022
It was amazing and also sad. Especially with all the things she went through but she later pulled through and stopped being a shell of herself. I just hope she will finds her way back to a singing career again.

Honestly couldn't finish it - ended up skimming to the end. A story rather obsessed with the main character, to its detriment, and exceedingly predictable. I did like the quick glimpses into the mindsets of other characters, if only for a moment, but just couldn't get into the writing or story.

I wonder how Josephine won an award with this garbage lol. I couldn't stand it and left half. Even if you have free time, this book is waste of paper. Also, some of the parts were disgusting. Just like a pervy man wrote it

An interesting story centred around a lady called Maddy who is a singing star in a cabaret bar. After witnessing a horrific crime her life changes forever. Kindness and friendship save her more than once. Another story by a talented writer that reaches straight to the heart.

Mild and not as intense as expected but an easy to read story of a naive young woman.

Sadness upon sadness.
This is the third of Josephine Cox's novels (also: Lovers and Liars and Born Bad) that I have listened to in abridged audiobook format, and the third one that I have given just three stars to. I find them rather depressing and the target is always a woman who is being treated badly by a man. I wasn't taken with the narrator either, Carol Bond's voice felt patronising and enhanced how cheesy I was finding the story.
Maddy Delaney is the Songbird of the title. She sings in a London nightclub run by the sleazy crook, Steve Drayton. She has fallen for him in a big way, but it seems he is just using her until he's ready to move on to his next victim. Things go seriously wrong and she ends up on the run.
There were some lovely people who help her along the way, but she never settles long and the past has a way of catching up with her.
This is a sad story with sadness piling upon sadness, even the ending was only partly satisfying.
I always wonder what I have missed when I listen to abridged audiobooks, were the best bits missing?
I'm aware that Josephine Cox is a popular author, so this is only my own opinion of the book, but I think I will pass my JC books on and make space in my bookshelves for other authors.

I oridganally read this book when it was released however I did not review it at that time as I was not as active at writing book reviews then. My second time reading was just as good as the first. The compassion that Maddy had for people despite what she was put through was amazing. I loved this story and following the different characters through there journey I don't agree with what Ellan did but as she'd cared for Michael for such a long time at that point I can understand why she did it. The whole story was full of resilianse and maddy was a true fighter. Can't say much more without giving lots of spoilers but just amazing. As a singer myself I really loved the fact that the main character was a singer.

Há uns anos li outro livro desta autora e foi quase amor à primeira vista. Uma estória verossímil, simples mas muito bem construída. Logo aí fiquei com vontade de reler estar autora. Entretanto fui "conhecendo" outras escritoras e, ao ler esta obra, lembrei-me imenso de Lesley Pearse. É certo que a escrita não é tão apaixonada, tão emocional mas os temas em si e a forma como é dada a volta ao enredo têm laivos da autora de Nunca Digas Adeus. Julgo que Josephine Cox não é cá muito conhecida e é pena...
July 5, 2017
The book was a light read overall. The plot was good enough and I did like the characters overall. The twist in between Ellen & Madeline over the baby was something I didn't see coming.
I would rate it a 3.5

I have to admit I was upset with this novel. Josephine Cox used to be my fav. author yet I felt that this novel wasn't up to her usual standard. I shelled out £14 for this book (a lot, I feel, for a student) and there were typos and grammatical errors! I don't know whether I didn't like it as much due to the array of new and fantastic literature I have read recently; or if it's because the narrative was set in the '70s rather than 1900s+ like her other novels, but I was disappointed.

I must admit it was similar to Martina Cole, but with a happy ending. I started listening to it on audio and then finished reading it. It was a very quick read. It was a bit predictable but stil enjoyable.
Maddie is a night club singer, who is going out with the owner of the club, but it all changes when she tells him she is pregnant, there is a shoot out at the club and she is forced to go into hiding.

Though the story was a bit far fetched I still enjoyed the book. Josephine Cox is a talented writer and an easy read. I was a bit upset that Maddy didn't take back her son in the end, it made her character a bit too good to be true after all that she'd been through. The danger and life threatening events in the book did not feel quite so real, I wasn't particularly on edge but I would still recommend this book to anyone who likes a good love story and a light read.
June 8, 2012
I absolutely loved this book and managed to read it very quickly. I was sad at the end with the decision made by the main character but understood why she made it. I would have liked to see what would have happened if she made the opposite decision.
This is a good entertaining book and should be a must for all Josephine Cox fans.
