About this listen

Three sisters. Three childhoods ruined. One chance to heal the scars of the past.

After their death of their cruel and abusive mother, estranged sisters Alex, Catherine and Beth reunite once again.

Alex, the youngest, is a bitter, unhappy woman who refuses to face the horrors of her childhood. Finding solace in a bottle, her life is spiraling dangerously out of control.

Eldest child, Catherine, has striven for success, despite her difficult upbringing. But behind the carefully constructed façade lies a secret that could shatter her world forever.

Beth, the middle child, bore the greatest burden. But having blocked out the cruelty they suffered, she remained with their mother until her death. Now she must confront the devastating reality of the past.

Brought together as strangers, the sisters embark on a painful journey to heal themselves and each other. Can they finally put their terrible childhoods to rest and start over?

Excellent novel from 1 of my favourite Authors.
Narration became annoyingly inconsistent! The Initial individuality of each characters voice sounded clearly individual at the start, but they began sounding all the same around 3/4 through book so was difficult to realize who was who unless their names were actually mentioned. nice sounding voice though.

Brillant

When working with the subject of "Mother" , the story is generally fraught with the predictability of character from very eatly on; being either a great Mother, too good to be true or set to destroy her children's futures with very little hope of recovery.

Seperation

A well written chronology of child abuse. Unfortunately it is not something I want to read for enjoyment. A tragic story all around
