Story
Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

Just brilliant
This book is amazing. It made me laugh, cry, think, cry some more, question and immerse myself in another world. Clare Macintosh is a hugely talented author who keeps you totally engrossed in the lives of her characters. A day after finishing this book I'm still thinking about it. I wish I could give this book more than five stars.

Emotional and real
Clare Mackintosh brings an authentic account to this beautiful prose of “what if’s”. I’m a paediatric Emergency Physician based in Melbourne and Clare’s book brings much realism to this work. The medical account is so real to me and brings home the actuality of our patients and families. I finished the book and found it weighing upon me- questioning my practice and how we work with families to reach decisions with families. Clare’s authors note explains why this is such a personal journey. This is an emotional story, despite the difficult subject matter, as a parent of small children myself, it is one that challenges the notions of the “what if’s” and one of hope for the future and the path we are meant to find in this life. A brilliant read/listen and I can’t wait for Clare Mackintosh’s next offering.x

Slow and dreary
This is one of the most boring stories I have read. The story is slow and predictable and the characters are dull. I struggled to finish it, I was thinking it must be almost over and then when I looked it still had 4 hours to go. I thought it might get better or the story might get more interesting but it didn't. I didn't like the alternative ending scenarios either.

A New Direction, A New Empathy
This is a very different book to what we have seen from Claire Mackintosh in the past. It contains much of her great writing style but is a long way removed from the thriller fayre she has served up so far. This is about two parents faced with the most terrible of circumstances. Their young son has become critically ill and has suffered already through the harshest of surgeries and treatments. The prologue tells us that this is heading towards a climactic courtroom decision which will decide the fate of their son and the first half of this book I found utterly compelling. Mackintosh presents her story through three points of view, the two parents as well as the female lead of the medical team supporting their son. It’s brilliantly done and really tugs at the heartstrings giving a genuinely 3D feel to the plot as it plays out. Once that central decision point is reached though there is a real change in the book’s nature as Mackintosh explores two alternate realities each based on the court decision going different ways. This was interesting but to me the book lost something because it never gives you a real sense of genuine conclusion because of the split narrative. As it's based on some incredibly tough real-life experiences for the author there is an authentic feel to all this but that was diminished for me by the author not deciding on one course or the other but choosing to explore both. The narration is very good, and I really enjoyed all three voices, particularly the doctor in charge. In these situations the families are rightly centre stage but this did well to underline the incredible pressures we put on the often young staff in our health services. Her voice was possibly the most human of them all in this very emotional book. So, especially when you hear the author’s words at the end of the book this is in part extremely compelling. As I said, the first half, while different to her previous books, I found utterly compelling and as good as anything she has done before. It’s a story of fantastic empathy and it had me genuinely captivated. I wasn’t so sold on the second half though, while the writing was still good of course the dual narrative didn’t work anywhere near as well or as smoothly. If there’s a message here it’s as much that there are no easy, black and white answers to these incredibly tough dilemmas and it’s impossible to emerge from them unscathed. So, I think I understand why Claire took the path she did but it didn’t quite work for me. In short, I’d say it’s worth reading for that first part which is extremely good but be prepared that it might leave you a little deflated with the second half.

A heart rending story, that caused me to question how I might act faced with such a devastating scenario. Listening was sometimes a little confusing when the story divides into the two possible conclusions...

What an incredible story. Made even more moving by the authors own words at the end of the book. I feel bad for making any criticism, however I found it very confusing as the chapters switched from one possible outcome to the other. Other than that, I found it to be extremely thought provoking.

Glad I didn’t give up on the book
I am a huge fan of Clare mackintosh. I pre order most of her books, and did the same with this without reading before anything on the story or background. At the start I wish I had checked the story, I found it heavy and too much at the start, but the way that the story developed was so cleverly done. Then the authors note at the end made me so pleased I had finished this book.
