A Borrowed Path

De: Imogen Clark

Narrado por: Billie Fulford-Brown

From the million-copy bestselling author of In a Single Moment and Where the Story Starts comes a gripping tale of secrets, lies, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

When Eve returns to her family home Fox House, the tension with her mother, Agatha, is palpable. But when Eve’s daughter, Lyra, and her granddaughter, Skye, arrive unexpectedly, four generations of women under one roof set the stage for explosive revelations. Lyra seems troubled, but refuses to explain why. And when she lays claim to the crumbling cottage on the estate, Agatha drops a bombshell–she’s already promised it to a mysterious man named Dylan.

Who is Dylan, and why has Agatha kept him hidden? As the family unravels, so do their closely-guarded secrets. But when the truth finally comes to light, will it heal the wounds between them–or tear their fragile bonds apart forever?

A Borrowed Path is an unforgettable novel that will leave you wondering just how well we really know the ones we love.

The family

The telling of the story, how it unfolded. How the stories we tell ourselves are seldom true.

Enjoyed the book

Worth a read and enjoyed the mystery throughout the book. I would love to rate this novel a 3.5

Loved This Story!

This story had it all: Unforgettable characters, family, drama, a little bit of a mystery, and a wonderful narrator. I didn’t want it to end. I’m really going to miss everyone from Fox House!

Loved the generational living!

I had a hard time keeping the names straight but I loved all of the resolutions at the end!

It is predictable yet keeps you reading

This is a great read. I usually enjoy Imogen Clark's books and "A Borrowed Path" is no exception. The characters are distinct and complex, yet endearing. The story line is interesting. I knew before the end how it would end, but waiting for the characters to catch up and realize was fun. The author makes you think you are there with the people. Highly recommend.

Elongated

This book went on and on with dialogue without much substance. I hate to not finish a read, but this was painful at times. Could have been told in two hours.

Unlikable women. I hate read this one.

The 5-yr old is cute. Her mother (Lyra) is a selfish, shallow, spoiled, obnoxious, entitled, nosy, liar. Her mother (Eve) is ok—a little boring, and her mother (Agatha) is horrid. You can understand why Eve and Agatha are the way they are as the story progresses, but Lyra...I often wonder why authors write such awful main characters. I want to root for the characters, not wish they would fall down a well and exit the story.
