Publisher's summary

Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction Discoveries Award 2023

An intensely gripping modern myth about family, secrets, belonging, identity and the power of finding your voice.

Emily has spent her life running away. She never speaks about what happened between her and her mother at her family home when she was a child. All anyone knows is that same night her father packed up the car and drove Emily away. For her safety, he said. She hasn’t been home since.

When her mother dies on her 28th birthday, everything changes. She sees her mother everywhere. She catches glimpses at the corner of her eye. She haunts her dreams.

And as the line between dreaming and waking begins to blur, her husband Matt convinces her that the only way she can make peace with her past is to make one final visit to the house she grew up in. With Matt and her friends by her side, she feels ready to take the leap.

Opening this Pandora's box will change Emily’s life forever. Is she ready to face the truth?

Twisted

Nice short but full story. The Twists and turns in story were at all the best places!

Wow did not see that coming

Intriguing mystery, it took a long while for her to face the truth and deal with the reality of her situation. Very moving and fantastical story!

It was a good listen

I randomly selected this audible novel. It was well done. The last half kept me excited about what was going to happen next.

Really well done.

I didn’t put it together until the end and the story came together so well.

The delivery ...

This story of secrets and desperation was intriguing. Chapter to chapter I eagerly waited for what was next. You never know who you are laying down with. If you enjoy suspense hit play and get ready

Uninformed and overly woke-boring

Hours into it there really isn’t much of an interesting story but basically just a woman married to a white guy that has turned her whole identity into the fact she is black. Uninformed in demographics of the US…it’s basic facts that the author has wrong, unless the point is to intentionally demonstrate the main character is ignorant.

Not a fan

This was a very strange book. Had a tough time figuring out what was going on in some parts. Just wasn't a fan of the story or style of writing. Narrator did a good job.

Confusing

Did not like story left me waiting for what was really happening. Could not follow plot. I feel like I wasted 4 hours waiting for something to come that never came
