About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the number one bestselling author of Our Little Cruelties and Skin Deep.

Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died.

Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and worried police, but also a sinister voice from a past she has no memory of. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, recluse Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, finding independence, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.

But when messages start arriving from a stranger who knows far more about her past than she knows herself, Sally's life will be thrown into chaos once again...

I’m still reeling. This book should probably come with a plethora of trigger warnings but I’m glad it didn’t as I may not have read it and I’m so glad I did.
Amazing characters, extraordinary storyline and impressive handling of some very dark and disturbing concepts. What a thrilling ride!

Amazing story

I loved this story as it was slow to develop and then it took off. Some parts are very grim but are not described in too much detail. What I did not like was the very mangled pronunciation of Maori. I am a New Zealand Maori and hearing this hurt my ears.

Loved this story but it was grim

A well researched, authentic, page turner. One of the best to come out of Ireland lately (and that is saying something as most Irish literary works are excellent).

Excellent
