About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Lydia, Robyn and Dean don't know each other - yet.

They live very different lives but each of them, independently, has always felt that something is missing.

What they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn their lives upside down.

It is a letter containing a secret - one that will bind them together, and show them what love and family and friendship really mean...

Critic reviews

Compelling, humane, heartbreaking...I couldn't put it down
A spirited novel of identity, love and loss.
An emotional and clever read, so good that I practically inhaled it
Beautifully observed

This book started off with lots of potential and I hoped the twists and turns would take me on a magical journey. Unfortunately, the book was a little far fetched for me and some subjects touched a nerve. So sadly not one I would recommend.

Too far fetched for me.
