About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Younger Wife and The Mother-in-Law.

Fern Castle works in her local library. She has dinner with her twin sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be ... dangerous.

When Rose discovers that she cannot fall pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple.

Fern's mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets from the past, in this quirky, rich and shocking story of unexpected love.

This book has given a beautiful insight into the world of neuro-diversity. The characters were so brilliantly portrayed and I loved reading about the messy complicated relationship between sisters.

I listen to audio books while in the car but this one came with me everywhere. I pressed “play” every spare moment I got. I didn’t want it to end. I loved each character then hated them then loved them again as the plot twisted and turned. The narrator was outstanding and represented each character superbly. The only thing I didn’t like was that it came to an end.

Without doubt one of the best I’ve ever bought

This story is so well written. Couldn’t put it down. The character development and plot line have you from the first few chapters. Thankyou as this type of novel is a gift of time you give yourself where your imagination lets you escape.

Fantastic Story

I brought this on audible thinking I'd slowly read it on longer car trips but as soon as it started I was hooked and devoured the whole thing in a day.

Loved it. So addictive.
