About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The eagerly awaited, life-affirming and moving new novel from number one best-selling Author Dawn French.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...midnight.

The old millennium turns into the new.

In the same hospital, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.

Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl.

Anna leaves with empty arms.

Seventeen years later, the gods who keep watch over broken-hearted mothers wreak mighty revenge and the truth starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.

The power of mother-love will be tested to its limits.

Perhaps beyond....

Because Of You is Dawn French's stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.

This book touched my heart in ways no other book has. I love Dawn’s books and I’m a huge fan of her in general, but this book is beyond brilliant and I think it’s her best yet. I laughed and cried in equal measure - all of the characters are expertly conceptualised and you feel bonded to them like they’re your own family. I thoroughly recommend the book and I hope Dawn continues to write more on this subject in future.

Beautiful story of motherly love

I’ve never written a review before, but still with tears streaming down my face I felt compelled too. Without giving anything away this book has had me on an emotional rollercoaster from the very beginning. The up and downs had me in tears of happiness and sadness…it made me smile a lot…it was so full of deep, profound, heart wrenching love and I can’t recommended it enough. Dawn french read it with passion and from the heart and I can’t imagine it with anyone else’s voices, she meant every word she said.

Just so beautiful….
