Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the number one bestselling author of Our Little Cruelties and Skin Deep.

Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died.

Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and worried police, but also a sinister voice from a past she has no memory of. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, recluse Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, finding independence, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.

But when messages start arriving from a stranger who knows far more about her past than she knows herself, Sally's life will be thrown into chaos once again...

An addictive listen! Gripping until the very end!

Liz Nugent is a wonderfully talented author! Her books get better and better, if that is even possible? The audio book was excellent, a brilliant production. The accents were perfect, and I couldn't wait to listen to the audio book on my walk each day.

Stunning

Original, compelling, heart warming (and heart breaking) and written with such intricacy that I couldn’t put it down, or press pause.
This is the first time I’ve read Liz Nugent and what a talented author she is.
The characters and storyline are superb. I loved Sally, and will be thinking of her for months to come. Amazing book.

The narration was superb oh and never judge a book by the cover you will most certainly miss out on a story you wont forget.

Couldn’t stop listening

Her best yet, full of twists and turns. I found the end incredibly sad for the main character and brave of the author to make that ending
Highly recommended

Hooked yet somewhat disturbing

Well worth a listen but definitely stayed in my mind after. Cleverly crafted storyline. Would be a fab film too.
