Synopsis

'An enthralling, layered triumph' 'A richly enjoyable thriller' 'An elegant, provocative, twisting thriller… hugely entertaining and beautifully written' 'So brilliant I stayed up into the early hours to finish it' Your mother is not who you think she is… Decades earlier, Judy was a girl with big plans – to ensnare a rich husband, to make something of herself, to rise above her upbringing and leave behind past tragedies. Wealthy young widower Rory Harrington seemed the perfect target – but Judy hadn’t reckoned on actually falling in love with him. Now her daughter Francesca, who has secrets of her own, must come to terms with the realisation that the mother she thought she knew wasn’t real. Where has Judy gone – and was anything she told her family true? Moving from Cape Cod to London, New York to the South of France, THE END OF SUMMER is a gripping, nuanced literary thriller from a writer at the top of her game.

Thanks Netgally for my copy in return for an honest review I thought this started off well and was intrigued to find out what the big secret is, then this was revealed early on and the story was more about how the events lead up to the big secret and if Judy really did kill her husband. I'm not a fan......more
