Summary

The new novel from best-selling author Graham Norton

In his tense and darkly comic new novel, Norton casts a light on the relationship between mothers and daughters, and truth and self-preservation with unnerving effect.

Carol is a divorced teacher living in a small town in Ireland, her only son now grown. A second chance at love brings her unexpected connection and belonging. The new relationship sparks local speculation: what does a woman like her see in a man like that? What happened to his wife who abandoned them all those years ago? But the gossip only serves to bring the couple closer.

When Declan becomes ill, things start to fall apart. His children are untrusting and cruel, and Carol is forced to leave their beloved home with its worn oak floors and elegant features and move back in with her parents.

Carol's mother is determined to get to the bottom of things; she won't see her daughter suffer in this way. It seems there are secrets in Declan's past, strange rumours that were never confronted, and suddenly the house they shared takes on a more sinister significance.

Mr Norton does it again

Another fab book by Graham Norton. An easy listen, especially as the author himself narrates it. Strong female characters are his hallmark.

Fulfilled expectations

I've loved all Graham's book and this one didn't disappoint. Might not be his best but full of humour and intrigue nonetheless

Absolutely gutted it’s finished

I have loved all of Graham’s books and this one was no exception. The Irish sense of family and home within his books are so heartfelt and this was as expected. Off the bat, I always struggle with multiple characters being introduced so quickly but it didn’t take long to decipher and get to grips with the story. The twists were unexpected and I often audibly laughed. Graham describes people and places so well that I can picture them so vividly and his narration only emphasises them. Excellent performance and loved his voices for characters.
I’m sad that I read this so fast and i progressively mourned as I could see the time ticking away.
Looking forward to another novel by Graham Norton soon.

Entertaining story

This is the first book I have listened to by Graham Norton and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Graham's narration was nicely paced and I laughed out loud in parts. There are some pretty flawed characters, as there are in life, and some pretty dark humour. The plot kept me engaged from start to finish.

Loved this book

Loved this, Graham never disappoints, binged listened to it over 3 days, love that he reads them himself so we really hear his characters as he wants us too, especially Mother Crotty!
