About this listen

Rachel Hore's intriguing and suspenseful new novel magnificently connects the very different worlds of two young women, who are linked by their individual quests for truth, love and happiness.

When editor Emily Gordon commissions an account of the great English novelist Hugh Morton, she finds herself caught between Morton's formidable widow, Jacqueline, and the charming biographer, Joel Richards. What is the secret buried in Morton’s past?

One winter's day in 1948, a chance meeting for Isabel Barber leads to a fascinating career in publishing. But when she meets charismatic young debut novelist Hugh Morton the professional becomes passionately personal...

I throughly enjoyed the book, however I couldn't quite get to like the central character. She was vivid and believable but so often I wanted her to do something else and I was disappointed in learning what her last act of the story was. The modern day heroine was a reflection of what the central character should have been.

Excellent, fantastic characterisation.

I liked (and disliked) the way the story moved forward and back in time. I wanted to stay in one time but quickly started to get into the other time zone and didn’t want it to change back!

Very moving and riveting.

Really enjoyed this story. Interesting characters one really empathised with.
As usual with Geri Halligan fabulous narration.
This is my second book by Rachel Hore. Will be getting another one.

Brilliant story

Took a while to get into it but then it just flowed. Long story and none too convincing. Accents of narrator not very good.

A bit far fetched!

I enjoyed this very much and the narrator did a great job with the different voices I thought.

Very enjoyable!
