About this listen

Shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel Award 2018 with the Romantic Novelists' Association

A poignant, surprising love story told backwards over five decades, with a devastating secret at its heart.

Robbie and Emily they have been together for decades. Now, their joints are creaking and their eyesight is failing - but their love for each other is as fresh and fierce as the day they first met. They have had children and grandchildren, lived full and happy and intimate lives.

But they have been keeping a secret since the day they met, when their lives changed forever. Over the years, the sacrifices and choices they made have sealed their fates together.

Did they do the right thing? Read their story, and you decide.

Perfect for fans of Ruth Hogan, Gail Honeyman and Sarah Winman and anyone looking for a thought-provoking listen.

"A bold, breathtaking and truly compelling love story, one that will stay with me for a long time." (Lisa Jewell, author of Then She Was Gone)

I really liked it. I kept asking myself the question: what happened? Now I know the beginning, I may start again at the end. I also really liked Gemma Whelan’s voice

Interesting way a story unfolds

I will admit that I found it quite hard to get into this story but from about half way through, it became magical
I'm not a fan of romance novels but this is so different and has much more substance.
The characters are all so real and I found myself enthralled as the story unfolded
I may now go back to the start so that I can appreciate that more
Well worth 5 stars and narrated perfectly

Heartbreaking

I did enjoy this, I listened to it in one go as I was I’ll, the narrator is very good although I felt lacked a little differentiation at times. Plot was interesting and the reverse storytelling didn’t feel too onerous. I guessed the twist quite early on but it didn’t stop me enjoying it although like some have said I didn’t love Emily and Robbie massively, as characters but I enjoyed non the less. Well worth a listen for a rainy day.

Heartily enjoyable.

this is so good and artfully written it prompted me to go straight back to the start and listen to it again!

this book is written in a way that is like watching someone else put a puzzle together or doing a card trick, with the end of the book showing the full picture leaving you wanting to do it yourself - I had to go back and knowing the finished picture, work out how the pieces go together.

EXCELLENT :+)

I went straight back and listened to it again!
