Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Truth of Melody Browne by Lisa Jewell, read by Antonia Beamish.

Melody Browne can remember nothing before her ninth birthday. Now in her early thirties, Melody lives in the middle of London with her seventeen-year-old son. She hasn’t seen her parents since she left home at fifteen, but Melody doesn't mind. She’s better off on her own.

And then fragments of her past start to come back. At first her memories mean nothing to her but slowly, day by day, she begins to piece together the real story of her childhood.

But with every mystery she solves another one materialises, with every question she answers another appears. And Melody begins to wonder if she'll ever know the truth about her past ...

I liked the premise of the story and it was read well but I found it very odd that since the author herself has children that some of the story about the 6-7 year old character were very unbelievable.

Good story a bit marred

I found it disjointed to start with but then it all came together. Well worth listening to.

A great twisty read which had me listening long into the night to find out Melody's story. The underlying themes were dealt with sensitively and from different angles. Would definitely recommend!
