On a leafy suburban street in Dublin, beautiful, poised Stella Greene lives with her successful husband, Matt. The perfect couple in every way, Stella appears to have it all. Next door, at number 72 however, lives Rea Brady. Gruff, bad-tempered and rarely seen besides the twitching of her net curtains, rumour has it she’s lost it all…including her marbles if you believe the neighbourhood gossip.

But appearances can be deceiving and when Stella and Rea’s worlds collide they realise they have much in common. Both are trapped in a prison of their own making.

Has help been next door without them realising it?

With the warmth and wit of Maeve Binchy and the secrets and twists of Liane Moriarty, this is the utterly original and compelling new novel from Irish Times bestseller Carmel Harrington.

‘Both heart-wrenching and uplifting. The perfect summer read’ Irish Times Bestseller Fionnuala Kearney

...combining fiction and real events. This title appeared as an Audible recommendation based on my preferences. It provides vivid and evocative descriptions of people and places and events. The narrator is excellent.

Surprising, moving account ...

The author wove together three story lines so artfully they seem as one. The story gives you a good view into mental anxiety, tragedy, death, love and friendship

Great subject

I started this story on a short road trip, then took my time finishing it after I got home. I so enjoyed the story despite sensing some of the details (no spoilers). The characters were so colorful & real! I laughed out loud throughout and may never visit IKEA the same again :)

Wonderful story and read!

I have enjoyed the narration of Aoife McMahon by a couple of authors! She does excellent work. Carmel Harrington has crafted a story that weaves together past and present of two families in a way that keeps you listening every chance you get. Can’t wait to try another title by her.

Couldn’t stop listening!

Emotion and humour beautifully blended. Second time listening to this one, this time with my family. We started it as a nighttime routine but binge listened the last 10 chapters.

Great story brilliantly told
