About this listen

After years of keeping secrets and telling white lies, can one broken family find their way back to each other?

Audrey's family are falling apart. Her two grown-up daughters, Jess and Lily, are estranged, and her two granddaughters have never been allowed to meet. One secret that echoes back to 30 years before has splintered the family in two and is also the one thing keeping them connected. But as tensions reach breaking point, the irrevocable choice that one of them made all those years ago will inevitably rise to the surface and either split them apart for good - or bring them back together.

A moving novel full of heart about the people closest to us.

I dont really know where to start!

Narrator: was wonderful. She played each character really well and her own emotions were so obvious toward the climax of this story - it def had an impact to how much I cried!!. She did a great job considering the scene!!

Characters: my goodness. I hated 1 of them - Jess......Pitied another - Lily........and was incredibly frustrated with the last - Audrey. I loved Phoebe and Mia though and felt they couldve been developed a lot more which may have led to the main story line not feeling so drawn out.

Story: the personal tragedy of this family feels terribly unlikely and very drawn out. The big secret comes together really well, but could've arrived much quicker than allowed. I did nothing but cry during this book. Theres nothing heart warming about it. The big secret in itself was utterly heartbreaking!!

I advise to make sure you have a box of tissues when embarking on this book.

This book was heartbreaking, heartwarming and heart stopping all at once. The narration was stunning and it wrapped around the story with the warmth and sensitivity the topics needed.

Heartbreaking

Slow to start but I kept with it and certainly worth while. The anger scenes were very realistic and glad they stopped before I turned off. Glad I didn't.

interesting and worth a listen
