MEET EVA MARTÍNEZ-GREEN, AN ONLY CHILD FULL OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HER BEGINNINGS.
Between her emotionally absent mother and her physically absent father, there is nobody to answer them. Eva is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why are there no baby pictures of her? Why do her parents avoid all questions about her early years?
When her parents’ relationship crumbles, Eva begins a journey to find these answers for herself. Her desire to discover where she belongs leads Eva on a journey spanning decades and continents – and, along the way, she meets women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be, and who will change her life forever…

Best audible for 2021
A very moving story with acute observations. The narrator’s performance was 10/10. Best book I listened to in 2021 - I loved it from start to finish.

Nice story, easy listening.
I enjoyed the story especially the way it takes you to Spain. Very well narrated, loved the Spanish accent. At times I found the “she said” and “he said” a bit annoying. But that’s what you get as it is read out loud (not really necessary when the voices are so different) Overall a good read/listen.
