Summary

…But what if that’s the only thing you can remember?

Komméno Island, Greece: I don't know where I am, who I am. Help me.

A woman is washed up on a remote Greek island with no recollection of who she is or how she got there.

Potter’s Lane, Twickenham, London: Eloïse Shelley is officially missing.

Lochlan’s wife has vanished into thin air, leaving their toddler and twelve-week-old baby alone. Her money, car and passport are all in the house, with no signs of foul play. Every clue the police turn up means someone has told a lie…

Does a husband ever truly know his wife? Or a wife know her husband? Why is Eloïse missing? Why did she forget?

The truth is found in these pages…

The ending was a complete surprise!!! A bit slow to start, but then I was hooked. Engaging story, "cliff hanger" literally and figuratively. I really enjoyed this one! Very clever twists of all kinds!

Really surprising!

I thought I’d worked out a weak play but I hadn’t, not at all.
Very good..

Didn’t see that coming

The book was ok but it didn’t grab me the way others have. I would describe it as an ok holiday book but certainly no exciting page turner.

God idea but ultimately an anti climax

This is a great book, but it's taken me a few weeks to know why.

Without spoiling, it's an intriguing story with three distinct sections: mystery, abuse, joy. Each of these parts is a good listen, and I was competently drawn equally into areas which relate to my life and which taught me about those where I have no personal experience.

Comparing to other books in the genre, this book stands out because of the characters. I felt a genuine empathy for ALL the characters, both because of the writing and the excellent narration. I truly liked them all (except one). I felt they were friends, and that I was making decisions along with them.

In short, it's extremely well written and narrated.

I'd recommend this to anyone who likes stories and how normal people respond to an unusual situation, and to explore real lives unlikely to have been experienced by the average audible listener.

such an enjoyable book

This is one of the best books I’ve listened to in a while. Harrowing, emotional but beautifully written. In depth characters and fabulous narration, so glad I bought this.

Brilliant!
