Twenty-five years later their paths cross again and memories of a painful childhood come flooding back to haunt them both.

Will’s wife, Harmony, is struggling after a miscarriage that has hit her hard, and wishes Will would open up about what happened.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A beautiful, sharply written novel about how we carry the past with us." (Louise Beech, author of Nothing Else)

"A compelling, moving and captivating book that had me hooked from the first page... At the core of the book is the profound impact that trauma, experienced at a young age, can have on the rest of a person’s life, and the lives of those who love that person." (Louise Douglas, bestselling author of The Room in the Attic)

"A powerful story about the shadowlands that can connect people with long-held secrets. What I particularly loved when reading it was the constant interplay between menace and damage: the menace posed by others and the damage Jennings’s gritty and deftly drawn characters actually do to themselves. A really great read." (Claire Dyer, author of The Significant Others of Odie May)
