About this listen

 ‘Book of the month: An emotional and suspenseful page turner’ Bella ‘Susan Lewis has a gift for telling warm family stories that also take you by surprise. One Minute Later will make you savour every second’ Jane Corry

You think your life is perfect.

You think your secrets are safe.

You think it’ll always be this way.

But your life can change in a heartbeat.

With a high-flying job, a beautiful apartment and friends whose lives are as happy as her own, Vivienne Shager is living the dream. Then, on the afternoon of Vivi’s twenty-seventh birthday, one catastrophic minute changes everything.

Forced to move back to the small seaside town where she grew up, Vivi remembers the reasons she left. The secrets, lies and questions that now must be answered before it’s too late. But the answers lie in thirty years in the past…

Shelley Raynor’s family home, Deerwood Farm, has always been a special place until darkness strikes at its heart. When Vivi’s and Shelley’s worlds begin to entwine, it only takes a moment for the truth to unravel all of their lives.

Brilliantly emotional, suspenseful and page-turning, One Minute Later is the stunning new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Susan Lewis.

Susan Lewis – behind every secret lies a story.

An emotional story with happiness & sadness about real life. Another great read by Susan Lewis.

Powerful Story

Each character was carefully developed, the plot thickened and as soon as I though I knew what was coming around the corner, the turn of the page took another direction. It was hard to put it down and it kept me up into the early hours of the morning.
Be an organ donor, save lives!!

Moving, gripping and hard to put down!

Well written, but full of sad happiness.
Liked it, but pleased to have finished!

Beautiful but depressing

This is a very sweet, sometimes too sweet book with an extremely important message about organ donation. I like the way the author has mixed facts with fiction and covered such an important topic with grace and dignity. My only negative is that the narrator sounded like she had a cold and didn't have a wide range of character voices but other than that I quite liked it.

Sweet and an important message
