When she was 9 years old, Melody Browne's house burned down, and it took all of her childhood memories with it. Now she's a single mother of a teenage boy living in Central London. She hasn't seen her parents since she left home at 15, but she doesn't mind. She's better off on her own. She works as a dinner lady at her son's school and has no idea where her humdrum life is heading. But one summer's night, a hypnotist inadvertently unlocks memories of her childhood, and her whole life is turned upside down.

At first, these new memories mean nothing to her, but as Melody slowly begins to piece together the real story of her childhood, she begins to uncover mystery after mystery and wonders if she'll ever know the truth about her past...

I liked this story. I typically enjoy this author so it was a safe purchase. I do not regret buying and I did read the whole thing in a matter of days but at no point did I think it was great. The narration was great. I guess if I had to pinpoint my reasons for not rating higher, I find myself just annoyed that too much was unbelievable. I understand artistic license but there's a difference between weaving a story and just outright predictable. This book was a strong three stars, the performance was outstanding, but I won't seek out this author again.

Just okay for me, not great

Another Lisa Jewell jewel. Back and forth through time, a story of a unique young girl’s childhood survival and the colorful characters she encounters, even a most unexpected best friend. What is it that draws people together regardless of age and social status? To me, the entire story is a great fairytale.

Like Cinderella

Really great characters, but the story could not hold my attention! I had to jump back chapters multiple times because I found myself not listening. I normally love stories that bounce back and forth throughout a character’s life, but she kept losing me. I will be asking for my credit back on this one!

Not my favorite LJ book

I wouldn’t say this is necessarily a traditional mystery necessarily, but a truly heartwarming story that deep dives in to characters the way only Lisa Jewell can do.

Such a lovely story

This book grabbed me from the beginning! I didn’t want it to end. Characters are very relatable and well developed. Just a GOOD BOOK!

Best Lisa Jewel yet

I enjoyed the book ok, but it was really confusing fir the first 1/3 of the book. I like books that jump between present and history, but this one was hard to follow.

I would say the first third of the book I was forcing myself to continue. I was confused about what was going on and not that invested in the characters. But being a fan of Lisa Jewell I kept going and I was not disappointed. By the time the book ended I was completely engrossed.
Narration is superb.

If you’re patient it’s a great read!
