Publisher's Summary

From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal – a new thought-provoking novel exploring the complexity of motherhood and all that connects and disconnects us.

You think you know her…
But look a little closer

She is a stay-at-home mother-of-three with boundless reserves of patience, energy and love. After being friends for a decade, this is how Liz sees Jess.

Then one moment changes everything.

Dark thoughts and carefully guarded secrets surface – and Liz is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her friend, and about herself.

Critic Reviews

Each character is brilliantly drawn, and the book delivers surprise after surprise’ (Claire Fuller, author of Bitter Orange)
‘Absolutely brilliant; an emotionally devastating story, brave and honest’ (Emma Curtis, author of One Little Mistake)
‘Compelling, beautifully written, so perceptive and emotionally devastating. Like Anatomy of a Scandal, it feels like an important book as well as a brilliant read’ (Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party)

irritating narration, dull story

the narrators voice and accents are distractingly irritating, and I've never heard an audio book with sound effects (crowd noise, people speaking on phones). it wasn't enjoyable to listen to at all. Maybe this detracted from my ability to focus on the story but it was dull, slow and predictable. there are much better books on PND and family trauma. I had such high hopes going in, lower your expectations, then lower them again and I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
