about the author

Through Five Year Old Eyes is Kate Barnham’s first novel. She started writing during lockdown and has barely paused for breath since. When Kate isn’t writing, she is herding eight cats – two of her own Dolly and Lola and six kittens that Lola produced after spending Valentines Weekend out on the tiles. Counting words has been replaced with counting kittens for the time being. She lives in Reading Berkshire, her adopted hometown and is immensely proud to call it her home. In her spare time, she reads avidly and plays computer games.

about the book

Told from the perspective of frightened five-year-old Maxine and her adult self.

Maxine believed that she had dealt with the sexual abuse and cruelty that she suffered at the hands of her parents by blocking it all out.

Taking part in a programme designed to identify the signs that a child is being abused opened a Pandora’s box of horrifying memories that highjacked her mind, causing her to lose her grip on her mind, her sanity, and ultimately her life.
