Story
When Abby's doctor tells her she's two months pregnant, she doesn't believe him. She can't be - she hasn't had sex for over a year. But to her astonishment and dismay, multiple tests confirm it's true. Desperately searching for an explanation, Abby recalls New Year's Day - the terrible hangover, the hole in her memory where the night before should have been and the inexplicable sense of unease - and realises that this baby must have been conceived at her best friend Danny's NYE party.

Brilliant story but...
The female part is really hard to listen to due to her odd intonation. When she went into dialogue it disappeared though so not sure what was going on there. May be better if they had the her parts Re read.

Emotional and brilliant story
This story needs to come with a Trigger warning as it contains Kidnapping a child (Obviously) but also cot death.
I have had this in my collection for a while but I am glad I listened to it now as it is a brilliant book, which does deal with some hard issues.
The book follows Laura Bateman and her 'son' Daniel in alternating chapters told from each of their view points, and jumps all over the place from Laura's childhood through to 22 years after she has kidnapped Daniel.
The way the book is written is brilliant as it manages to cover the whole period easily without making it obvious how much it is jumping.
Mainly the chapters told from Laura's viewpoint are all told in the past as we learn about her childhood and why, and how, she kidnapped Daniel. The chapters told from Daniel's viewpoint cover the present where we learn how he is dealing with his life etc.
I would highly recommend this book as it kept me hooked throughout and left me guessing a lot.

Terrible narration, fairly good story
Such a shame that the female narrator was so breathy and seemed to have strange intonation.
The story was quite good and the male narrator was better, but for me the irritation of the female chapters read in such an unusual style was just too off putting.

His Kidnapper's SHoes
It has been quite a while since I have been totally enthralled in a book. I have enjoyed every word, sentence and chapter of this book. It addresses the complexity of people's life's, how those who draw the short straws, deal with great suffering and how this affects their mental capabilities, in continuing to live a day to day existence. Where one mistake has catastrophic consequences. But also this book addresses, how ones begins to look beyond the stereotype label attached to a person. It's so easy to condemn a fellow man. But deep understanding and compassion brings a healing presence to all.

Challenging topics in a moving story
The female narration was bizarre.It was a sing song like crescendo of intonation. Very irritating and gaspy, but worth suffering for the sake of the book. The male narration was a youthful voice , very nasal but endearing. the story was full of chance meetings and coincidence but the topics were sad and moving. The last chapter was heart breaking. Overall a good book. Glad I persevered over the narration.

Bad narration and boring storyline
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Typical psychotic kidnapper and traumatized adult son. Crass language, and nothing uniquely drawing. I wasted three hours.

An Emotional Story of A Mother's Love
I couldn't stop listening to this book. As a Mother, it touched my heart and left me speechless. One minute I don't like her and then I'm feeling sad for her. Daniel, her son, well I just wanted to hug him. Don't want to give anything away so I will just say BUY IT! Definitely worth the money. So glad I didn't pass by this one. 😀😀😀
