Overview:
One fine autumn evening, Anna returns from work and starts making dinner, eager to welcome home her husband, Mark. It's just like any other day in their ten-year, Pinterest-perfect marriage - until he says he's leaving her. Discovering that the man she thought she knew better than anyone else is capable of abandoning it all sends Anna reeling. She believed the life they'd built together - and the bright future they'd imagined - counted for everything. How can he walk away?
The truth is Mark is battling secrets of his own - secrets Anna knows nothing about. A painful past and an uncertain future threaten to bring his life down around him - and he'll do anything not to expose her to that.
But unravelling the past is lonelier than Mark could ever have imagined and, as the days turn to months, Anna worries the separation will break them forever. Can she bring him back from the brink of self-destruction before it's too late, or will she discover that she never really knew him at all?

My Review:
STORY-5
Leah Mercer takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster ride with her brilliant poignant Brit-Lit novel, The Man I Thought You Were. A tale of love and loss, a family drama and how a person’s past affects their present and their future. Mark and Anna are both exceptional characters and readers will find themselves commiserating, debating and disagreeing with both of them over the course of this heartbreaking story. It’s a powerfully moving read and you’ll need the tissues close.

NARRATION-4
The narration by Napoleon Ryan and Heather Wilds is convincing, clear and eloquent and even though the Brits are known for their stiff upper lips a bit more feeling could have been put into the portrayal of the novel.

About the author:
Leah can't remember a time when she didn't love writing. From creating fake newspapers to writing letters to the editor, scribbling something was always on the agenda. Even the rejections she received after completing her first novel at age 13 didn't dent her enthusiasm.So it makes sense, then, that she pursued a career in anything but writing. Public relations, teaching, recruitment, editing medical journals -- even a stint painting houses -- until she finally succumbed once more to the lure of the blank page.
Whe she's not being jumped on by her young son or burning supper while thinking of plotlines, Leah can be found furiously tapping away on her laptop, trying not to check Twitter or Facebook.
Leah also writes romantic comedies under the name Talli Roland.
