About this listen
In late 1983, a letter arrives from Italy, containing secrets so unthinkable that it is hidden away, apparently forever. More than three decades later, it is found . . . by the last person who was ever supposed to see it.
When Allie opens an envelope in her grandmother’s house, it changes everything she knows about her family - and herself.
With the truth liable to hurt those she loves most, she hires a private detective to find out what happened to her late mother in the summer before Allie was born. Taking leave from her job as a research scientist, she is led to the sun-drenched shores of Lake Garda, accompanied by her best friend Ed.
But the secrets that emerge go far beyond anything they were expecting. Now, Allie must find the courage to confront her family’s tangled past and reshape her own future.©2019 Catherine Isaac (P)2019 Simon & Schuster UK

perfect narration of a beautiful book
I find a number of books I can't listen to due to the unsympathetic narration, no matter how popular the narrator their boxes are not airways suited to the book.
This was a great pairing

Wonderful and messy
Enjoyable book about Allie and the journey she takes with her best friend to discover hidden truths about her mother and her history. Expertly told the perspectives of three key characters, the stories were subtlety interwoven and added depth to the story and backgrounds of each of them, gently guiding the reader to connect the dots along the way.
Kristin Atherton did a fine job narrating, although she occasionally tends to sound like she is reciting a list.

Unexpected Gem
I bought this book on Audibles daily special. It is the first book of Catherine Isaac that I have ever listened to and I am looking forward to listening to her other books. Keep a tissue handy!
