About this listen
The new stand-alone from 'one of the great unmissables of the genre - intelligent, classy and with a wonderfully gothic imagination' (The Times) - with a disturbingly impossible situation.
All Beth has to do is drive her son to his Under-14s away match, watch him play, and bring him home.
Just because she knows that her former best friend lives near the football ground, that doesn't mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her. Why would Beth do that, and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn't seen Flora Braid for 12 years.
But she can't resist. She parks outside Flora's house and watches from across the road as Flora and her children, Thomas and Emily, step out of the car. Except....
There's something terribly wrong.
Flora looks the same, only older - just as Beth would have expected. It's the children that are the problem. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily Braid were five and three years old. Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are still five and three. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt - Beth hears Flora call them by their names - but they haven't changed at all. They are no taller, no older.
Why haven't they grown?

Great story
Interesting story. My friend had read the book and loved it. The narration of the female parts was fantastic but it needed a male voice for the male parts. It spoilt it for me and I wished I had read it instead of listening to it. It is worth a read.

Interesting mystery
Interesting and unique storyline. I would categorize it as a mystery, not a thriller. I felt some of the chapters where deliberations between the characters took place, were a bit long and drawn out. It isn't nail-biting exciting, but it is an interesting mystery.

Sophie Hannah interesting writer
I’m not sure what I think about this book. In some areas it’s great I enjoy the characters. The story is rather convoluted. At times I really enjoyed it, but really it’s very dense very silly to in some ways. Not sure I will read any more of her books.
