Summary
Meet Eva Martínez-Green, an only child full of questions about her beginnings.
Between her emotionally absent mother and her physically absent father, there is nobody to answer them. Eva is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why are there no baby pictures of her? Why do her parents avoid all questions about her early years?
When her parents’ relationship crumbles, Eva begins a journey to find these answers for herself. Her desire to discover where she belongs leads Eva on a journey spanning decades and continents—and, along the way, she meets women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be and who will change her life forever....

"A joy to read." (Anne Youngson)
"A truly glorious life-affirming book, in which love, hope and friendship trump sorrow." (Dinah Jefferies)

Gripping and engaging story, sensational narator
A wonderful gripping story. I felt as if I was listening to a true story based on real events, not fiction. It was so cleverly written and the sensational narrator just brought all the characters to life and I found myself immersed in the story not wanting it to stop. Polly Edsell, the amazing narrator, not only made me experience a cocktail of emotions during her reading but I actually had a lump in my throat on more than one occasion and ultimately shed real tears of sadness as well as tears of joy and laughter. It all felt so real. 5 stars throughout!

Entertaining
Got me at the beginning, lost me at the middle, but recovered nicely at the end.
(Main character made me really angry more than once)

Beautifully written, beautifully read
A wonderful book which has kept me company on many hours of dog walking, and left me bereft now it’s over. Now one of my all time favourite, poignant audible purchases

Outstanding
I thought ‘the other half of Augusta hope’ joanna’s first book was outstanding…..and then came this. I smiled and sobbed! It’s just beautiful. I recommend it to everyone! Definitely amongst my top 5 books ever read. I know I’ll read this again and again. If in doubt, go for it….you won’t regret it!

Wonderfully perceptive
I loved this book and didn’t want it to end. It’s beautifully written and captures the longing for answers when you’re not even entirely sure what you’re looking for.
