Nora Fitz thought two weeks in a stunning villa in the south of France would be the perfect treat for her family. She pictured them tucking into buttery croissants before long days lounging by the sparkling pool. She couldn't wait to count the freckles collecting on the kids' innocent smiling faces and feel the warm Mediterranean Sea wash all her fears away.
But Nora is nervous as she gathers everyone around the large oak table on the villa's vine-covered terrace. Her daughters eye her suspiciously as she tops up her wine with a shaking hand and clears her throat to speak. The secret she's about to tell will shatter their lives forever... A heartbreaking and totally addictive page-turner about motherhood at its best, and its worst, and the lies we tell to protect the ones we love. Anyone who adores Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult and Kerry Fisher will stay up all night reading. Everyone is talking about Clare Boyd: 'Just wow!... One of the best books I've ever read...
