About this listen
A novel of love undaunted by obstacles, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister.
Rosalind House might not be the first place you'd expect to find new love and renewal, but within the walls of this assisted living facility two women have their lives changed forever.
Anna Forster, in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease at only thirty-eight years of age, knows that her twin, Jack, has chosen Rosalind House because another young resident, Luke, lives there. As if, Anna muses, a little companionship will soften the unfairness of her fate.
Eve Bennett also comes to Rosalind house reluctantly. Once a pampered, wealthy wife, she is now cooking and cleaning to make ends meet.
Both women are facing futures they didn't expect. With only unreliable memories to guide them, they have no choice but to lean on and trust something more powerful. Something closer to the heart.
Critic Reviews
"You'll shed a few tears as the women try to forge a new life, despite the fact that they can't, or won't, remember the past. One for long afternoons." Sydney Morning Herald

So Moving
I was not sure I would like the subject matter of this book as I have had older close family members with Alzheimer's and it is the most terrible condition - but now I wish I had read this book before those loved ones went through dementia and that I had been able to imagine a different inner life for them. This was an extraordinarily moving book, beautifully read.

A wonderful collection of characters
It took me a little while to get into it with the narrator but once I knew the characters I was absorbed. I really enjoyed the story and thought each character brought something to the story. I would recommend :)

This is so far my favourite Sally Hepworth book and I’ve read several. Loved the narrating as well.
