Book Description
From the bestselling author of If My Father Loved Me
Product Description
Dinah Steward has a secret. Hidden beneath the comfortable family life she shares with her successful husband Matthew and their two sons lies a shameful secret that has haunted Dinah for fifteen years. She and Matt never speak of it or the impossible choice he forced her to make all those years ago: they think the cracks have been papered over.
But when a chance encounter brings the past into sharp focus once more, Dinah realises she can no longer deny the truth. She decides to risk everything - her husband, her sons, her perfect lifestyle, in order to claim what was always hers.

Format:Paperback
Once again Rosie Thomas keeps you gripped from page one. This is a heart-rendering story of a woman who cannot come to terms with a decision she made in her past and returns to England from her American home to try to make peace with her past. Although almost tragic in parts, the story shows that sometimes you must follow you heart regardless of the consequences.

As with Rosie Thomas's other stories, I found this one pleasing and flowing to read, very sensitively written, yet believable and realistic. I enjoyed this book very much.

Although this was a well written story, it is not the cheeriest in the world.
It is very sad in places and made me feel very uncomfortable in relation to the 'heroine' who regrets a decision in her past. This however is no reflection on Rosie Thomas' writing - she deals sensitively with the subject - possibly how well she has written as you can put yourself in the lead characters shoes.
I have only read one other Rosie Thomas book - Bad Girls, Good Women and thoroughly enjoyed this, even though again, you feel uncomfortable in the lead characters shoes, and it was incredibly sad in parts. This said though it did not feel as bleak as this story.

Once started can't put down
A story of love and pain but well worth the read. Rosie Thomas has an ability to see and write about quite complex situations and the emotions that often go with them.

Beautifully written, encompassing a spectrum of emotions.
Rosie Thomas generally plummets the reader into the hearts of several characters both, Moon Island and White are sound evidence of this. Read more
