Synopsis

From the author of Broken Country, a dark and suspenseful thriller about the consequences of one woman’s doomed love affair which, years later, threatens to tear her seemingly-perfectly world apart.

Catherine lives an enviably normal life with her loving husband, Sam, and their two children. But many parts of her past are shrouded in mystery…and that’s the way she likes it. Keeping the past buried keeps her safe. When a former flame resurfaces, something inside of Catherine gives way, releasing a flood of trauma she had thought was buried long ago.

Lying in the hospital after a complete breakdown, language eludes Catherine. The shock of her painful past has left her mute, unable to explain to Sam or her children the root of her anguish. As Catherine’s fragmented memories of her university days sharpen, the threads of her past and present start to coalesce. Catherine is transported back in time to her love affair with Lucian, a charismatic and complicated artist, with whom she shared a passion that was destined to end in tragedy.

Fifteen years after the fateful end of their romance, Catherine must finally confront the events that brought her to crisis, while the fragile pieces of her life, so delicately balanced, begin to shift—and threaten to shatter.

Goodreads review by Julie on August 21, 2018

This book will take you through a roller coaster of emotions and all the while, you’ll be desparate to know what happened to Catherine. The story is told during different time periods - four months before ‘it’ happened, from two points of view, fifteens years ago and now. We learn that Catherine is......more
