About this listen

On the night of 22 December 1980, a plane crashes on the Franco-Swiss border and is engulfed in flames. Out of 169 passengers, 168 are killed instantly. The miraculous sole survivor is a newborn baby.

But the identity of the child is unknown, and two families - one rich and affluent, and the other poor - step forward to claim her. So begins a private investigation that wil go on for the next 18 years....

The novel opens on the eve of the girl's 18th birthday. For years now Credule Grand-Duc has been trying to uncover the truth about the child's identity - is she Emilie or Lyse-Rose? And now it seems he has discovered a terrible secret. He plans to take his own life but not before he places his account of the investigation in the girl's hands. However someone else gets to him first....

Slow and steady wins

This is a fantastic story - what an incredible premise!
The only criticism is it is VERY slow moving. Seems to have so many insignificant details. But, if you stick with it - bare in mind this book has been translated from French to English - the twist at the end is so worth it!
Highly recommend.

Bizarre

Well narrated, but the story was absolutely bizarre. I wanted to care about the characters but they were all so unlikeable and the character motivations were difficult to relate to.
