About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Lydia, Robyn and Dean don't know each other - yet.

They live very different lives but each of them, independently, has always felt that something is missing.

What they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn their lives upside down.

It is a letter containing a secret - one that will bind them together, and show them what love and family and friendship really mean...

Critic reviews

Compelling, humane, heartbreaking...I couldn't put it down
A spirited novel of identity, love and loss.
An emotional and clever read, so good that I practically inhaled it
Beautifully observed

This book started off with lots of potential and I hoped the twists and turns would take me on a magical journey. Unfortunately, the book was a little far fetched for me and some subjects touched a nerve. So sadly not one I would recommend.

Too far fetched for me.

Loved this book. Loved how all the characters intertwined to come together at the end. Kept me entertained the whole way with some happy and tears at points. Would love a sequel.

Well worth a listen!
