About this listen

The crash is the unravelling of Margaret Holloway. Trapped inside a car about to explode, she is rescued by a scarred stranger who then disappears. Margaret remembers little, but she's spent her life remembering little - her childhood is full of holes and forgotten memories. Now she has a burning desire to discover who she is and why her life has been shrouded in secrets.

What really happened to her when she was a child? Could it have anything to do with the mysterious man who saved her life?

Flitting effortlessly between past and present, this is a suspenseful, gritty and emotionally charged journey of an estranged father and daughter, exploring the strength of family ties and our huge capacity for forgiveness.

Critic reviews

"[A] moving, insightful debut.... It's easy to see why this caused such a stir at Frankfurt last year. If it isn't this year's Before I Go To Sleep, I'll eat my laptop." (Guardian on The Guilty One)
"Sophisticated, suspenseful, unsettling, and highly recommended: a terrific debut from an author to watch." (Lee Child on The Guilty One)
"Thought provoking, brave and challenging, this book is an unsettling and compulsive read." (Rosamund Lupton, best-selling author of Sister and Afterwards, on The Guilty One)
"This is a subject that grips the attention like a vice." (Daily Mail on The Guilty One)
"Lisa Ballantyne has written a first novel that is both moving and suspenseful; richly detailed, yet with the eerie simplicity of a parable." (Joyce Carol Oates on The Guilty One)

The story is nicely structured if a little predictable, the 3 main characters are all quite believeable. I feel like the author was trying for a more suspencfull vibe which I didn't feel really came off, but I still enjoyed listening!

Kenny is great, Ballantyne is okay

Not my favorite by this author but still a good listen with an unusual story. The flipping from past to present was handled well and the characters engaging with good narration.

Enjoyable and something a bit different

Just a beautifully written story of love intertwined with religious fanaticism, desperation, unlawful cruelty, fate, life, and peace. Great character developments. Had me hooked from the first chapter and kept me hooked all the way through to the last words. The narration was good.

a fantastic story
