From the author of Broken Country, a captivating drama about how one man’s quest to uncover the truth about his adoption changes everything he knows about love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Luke and Hannah live a happy and stable life in London, working in jobs they love as they prepare for the arrival of their first child, Samuel. All his life, Luke has known he was adopted, but he’s never felt the need to seek out his birth mother—until he becomes a father himself.

Spurred by the connection he feels to his son, Luke’s search leads him to his birth mother Alice. Their first encounter is surreal, a sharp prick that barely scratches the surface of a painful past that neither of them has fully confronted.

Alice sinks into memories of her life as a young artist in 1970s London, and of her tragic whirlwind romance with an enigmatic musician who would become Luke’s father. Meanwhile, Luke spirals as he comes face to face with his feelings of abandonment that he worked so hard to bury. But at least Alice seems keen to make up for lost time by looking after Samuel—until her doting grandmother act takes a sinister turn for the worse.

As the truth of who Alice is and the story behind her heartbreaking decision to give up her baby come to light, she and Luke must reckon with the sacrifices they’ve made in the pursuit of love and belonging.

Well written story about the feelings of adoption for baby, birth family and adoptive family. Parts were sad but ending resolved the issues. I usually only read for entertainment but I am glad I read this book & I would recommend to others.

Honestly I wasn’t sure how it would all play out, but I was hooked from the beginning. This is the second book I’ve read from Clare Hall. Absolutely enjoyed the first one and this second one I’ve read has not disappointed. The raw emotion that I felt through this book has left me without words to explain. There were moments of frustration, happiness, suspense, curiosity, essential I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. Clare wrote this book with raw emotion and I felt it. Beautifully written!!

This last title I can find by this author didn’t disappoint. I tried to pace myself as I knew I didn’t have another Clare Leslie Hall to listen to! The story was excellent, loved the plot, loved the characters, loved the era. The narration was perfect! It is such a treat to listen to the narrators- it feels like I’m at the theatre. I can’t wait for the next book!!!!!

Another excellent book by Clare Leslie Hall!

The story is poignant. The scenes later in the story, the explanation for everything if you will, are really well described and deeply felt. Voices of the narrators are a personal taste and I wasn’t as drawn to them this time.
