About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of I Looked Away by Jane Corry, read by Rachel Bavidge.

Every Monday Ellie looks after her 4-year-old grandson Josh. The love she feels for him is different to anything she's experienced before. The only thing that can mar her happiness is her husband's affair. But he swore it was over, and Ellie has decided to be thankful for what she's got.

Then one day, while she's looking after Josh, her husband gets a call from that woman. And in a moment of pure rage, Ellie takes her eyes off her grandson.

The accident that happens will change Ellie's life forever.

Not least when the police discover that her younger brother died in suspicious circumstances thirty-five years ago...

I absolutely loved this book, a new author for me and I will without doubt be downloading another. It is 4.30 am - I had to stay awake to finish it so I think that says it all!

Amazing!!!!

This is an excellent, gripping and important book. A fine example of how thoughtful and carefully researched literature is one of the best ways of helping us make sense of complex, wide reaching and difficult themes such as homelessness and PTSD. Slightly confused at the start, probably due to insufficient narration pauses between sections, but soon sorted the story trajectory thanks to Audible’s 30 second re-wind button - and all became clear towards the end. I will definitely be downloading more of this author’s work.

Excellent and important

Layer upon layer of life experience, trauma, happiness and trepidation, this book was appealing on some many levels. Thought provoking, unpredictable and. Enthralling. I read the book in two days. I resonate with some layers of the book, despite this I felt privileged to have my life and a renewed appreciation for the plight of homeless people and fellow sufferers of mental health issues. I have awarded 5 stars as that’s the max. Highly recommend also narrator was perfect. Thank you
