About this listen

From the author of the Richard & Judy Book Club pick After the Fall comes another enthralling novel.

On a sharp winter's morning, a man turns his back on prison. This is the story of Joseph, who killed his wife, Zoe. Of their three children who witnessed the event. Of Zoe's parents, Hannah and Frederick, who are bringing up the children and can't forgive or understand Joseph. They slowly adjust to life without Zoe, until the day Joseph is released from prison...

Very touching story.

This book toyed with my emotions so much. Not often in stories do you fully understand the perspectives and emotions of all characters, but despite my own conflicting feelings (along with characters’ conflicting feelings) this boon encourages you to be patient and kind and put your own gut feeling aside to be able to see how things can impact others. Yet another excellent Charity Norman book.

My heart hurts from empathy!
