Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An unforgettable story about a family with a terrible secret. From the #1 bestselling author of Then She Was Gone, The Night She Disappeared and The Family Upstairs.

When a tragedy breaks a family apart, what can bring it back together?

The Birds seem to be the perfect family: mother, father, four children, a picture-book cottage in the country.

But one Easter weekend, something happens - something so unexpected, so devastating, that no one can bring themselves to talk about it.

The family shatters, seemingly for good.

Until, years later, they are forced to return to the house they grew up in, and to confront what really broke the family apart...

Another good book from Lisa

While I didn't enjoy the story as much as some of Lisa's others, its still well worth a listen, exploring much deeper than mere family dynamics, into intricacies and spawn of repressed memories and secrets. I love the little easter eggs Lisa always dots along the journey..E.g "the cast of his childhood, wandered off-stage forever". Enjoy!
