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...

Wow !! What a deeply involving , disturbing and rich tale .
The depth of characters, the intricacies of their lives and the movement through decades … not for the faint of heart this is a unique story painful at times but definitely worth it …

Wow! Brilliant. What started off as a quirky tale, grew into a dark story that I couldn’t stop listening to. The narrators did a fantastic job. Possibly the best audiobook I’ve ever listed to.

Great book!

Absolutely Loved this book right up until the last 10% which I found a bit rushed and unsatisfactory. Also a critique of the narration, As a New Zealander it really grated on me that they didn’t bother to pronounce the Māori words correctly , especially the character with the name “Rangi” which was pronounced totally wrong , the narrator was calling him “ran-yee” for some reason which I didn’t even realise was supposed to be the Māori name at first because it was mangled so badly , it would have taken barley any time or effort to check these words online or with a New Zealander so as not to butcher the pronunciation

Dark and twisted story

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!

Outstanding
