About this listen

Caroline Overington's best seller is a heart-breaking, utterly compelling novel of a family ripped apart.

It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was.

She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news.

The woman walked out to the car park, towards an old Corolla. For a moment, she held the child gently against her breast and, with her eyes closed, she smelled her. She then clipped the infant into the car, got in and drove off.

That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts.

This is a really beautiful book. I can't credit the author or the narrator enough. The male narrator hits just the right tone throughout. It's a heartbreaking listen, so utterly realistic throughout, I felt real, crushing empathy for the characters, sensitive, emotional but not in the slightest self indulgent. It's a really tough listen in places, I cried more than once, but I thoroughly recommend.

my favourite by this author so far!

An heart rending story - compelling to listen to, and we’ll read. The point of the narrative is not apparent until the last chapter, but well worth the listen
