Summary

From the best-selling author of While My Eyes Were Closed comes a powerful, emotional novel about how far we can trust those closest to us. 

You can run from the past, but you can't always stop it catching up with you....

Alison is a marriage mender. Her job is to help couples who fear they have reached the end of the road. So when her husband's ex, Lydia, arrives on the doorstep demanding to see her son, Alison thinks she can handle it. But what Alison doesn't realise is that Lydia is the one person who has the ability to destroy their happy family. And sometimes the cracks run too deep to ever be repaired....

This is a really satisfying novel. The story is original, the characters well drawn and engaging and the narrator does an excellent job. Thoroughly enjoyable.

It had me in tears at several moments. Really well written and lovely story - but the narration brought it to life.

Fantastic narration

I am over halfway through listening to this book, but I really don't get why the 'consultation room' parts are necessary, it's just confusing with all the different people introduced and doesn't seem relevant at all. Maybe I am jumping the gun and it will all make sense in the end, if so I will re write my review, but at the moment, due to this I am barely clinging on to this book

Half of story unnecessary

Good characters. Heartwarming. I was worried about them all the way through so pleased at the ending.

Enjoyable
