About this listen

Lara's life looks perfect on the surface. Gorgeous doting husband Massimo, sweet little son Sandro and the perfect home. Lara knows something about Massimo. Something she can't tell anyone else or everything Massimo has worked so hard for will be destroyed: his job, their reputation, their son. This secret is keeping Lara a prisoner in her marriage.

Maggie is married to Massimo's brother Nico. She knows all of Nico's darkest secrets - or so she thinks. The one day she discovers a letter in the attic which reveals a shocking secret about Nico's first wife Caitlin. Will Maggie set the record straight or keep a lie to protect those she loves?

For a family held together by lies, the truth will come at a devastating price.

Bought this audio for a long car journey and ended up making excuses to listen to it- gardening, walking dogs, bed time......
Not a thriller, or weird or any of that kind of thing. Just a good read (listen to).
The chapters alternate between two characters whose lives seem perfect to eachother but who both have their own issues.

Two women- one family.

I genuinely found this book hard to put down. I kept sneaking-off to listen to it and was not happy if I was interrupted! I love this author’s style of writing and, although I didn’t get on with her most recent offering After The Lie (because the lie was weak), her excellent style built wonderful characters in rich relationships in both books. I avoid spoilers in reviews, suffice to say, I don’t understand the review that said ‘nothing happens’ here. Important things are happening in the relationships throughout this book. The only thing wrong with it for me was that the dog disappeared from the later chapters and, as anyone who knows dogs would know, he would certainly have made himself heard during one particular scene. I shall say no more! I found the narration a little fast at first, but became used to the pace.

I Loved it!

Liked the story but not memorable to be a book I would return to, a relaxing read.

Good listen

Made me laugh out loud at times. Easy listening, not too silly or mushy. You need to pay attention enough to know which of the two main female characters the narrator is talking about, but it’s well read. It’s about marrying into an established strong family unit, relationships, preconceptions and assumptions. I liked it.
