Story
Suzi did a bad thing. She’s paying for it now, pregnant, scared, and living in an isolated cottage with her jealous husband, Nick. When Nora moves into the only house nearby, Suzi is delighted to have a friend. So much so that she’s almost tempted to tell Nora her terrible secret. But there’s more to Nora than meets the eye. It’s impossible - does she already know what Suzi did?

Story
When I first walked into Jake and Megan’s immaculate home, I felt totally at ease. Sitting in the crisp white living room, they held hands and talked lovingly about their baby girl, Fern. As the weeks passed, I began to think I’d made a mistake in taking the job. Jake was overly friendly from the start, watching my every move and always offering to drop me home, even though it was out of his way. And Megan seemed to take pleasure in telling me off in front of her husband, blaming me for things I hadn’t done.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

I could tell when my son started hiding things from me. He used to walk to school with a mischievous grin on his beautiful face. Now he avoids eye contact and keeps his head down. Since I discovered he’s being bullied by a classmate, I’ve spent every day worrying, my stomach churning with anxiety from the moment he leaves the house to the second he walks back through the door. Everyone keeps telling me I’m overreacting, but I won’t risk my child’s safety. My husband and I try to talk to the other boy’s parents, but it only makes things worse. Then our precious child is hurt. Enough is enough.

Wonderful story
I loved this book. Such a lovely story, beautifully written. Lisa’s descriptions of both post war London and 1995 Soho were so vivid - it was like I was there. And her characters became part of my life. So much so that when I wasn’t reading I was thinking “I wonder how Betty is getting on in London?” That’s a sign of a great book!

Beautiful Story of Parallel lives
What a lovely tale of parallel lives from the 1920’s and 1990’s.
Expertly interwoven and beautifully read.
Makes you appreciate your grandparents and think of them as young and carefree not old and frail.
Lisa Jewell has done it again
Hungry for another story
Great read
