From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes a story that asks: how do you forgive the family that lied to you, and love the mum you never had?
When her loving, free-spirited grandmother Primrose passes away, Victoria is bereft, yet resilient—she has survived tragedy before. But even her strength is tested when a mysterious woman attends Prim’s funeral and claims to be the mother Victoria thought was dead.
As the two women get to know each other and Victoria begins to learn more about her past, it becomes clear that her beloved grandmother had been keeping life-changing secrets from her. Desperate for answers, she still struggles to trust anyone to tell her the truth.
To live a full and happy life, Victoria knows she must not only uncover the truth, but find a way to forgive her family. But after so many years, is trusting them even possible?
What can be said about this wonderful book and author that hasn't already been said a million times before?
For once more Amanda Prowse has written a masterpiece, that gets under your skin and keeps you thinking and to some extent guessing.
As I'm not a mother I have no idea whether I would have made the decisions Prim made but rather could see it from all sides and.
And in was absorbed by Victoria's story, took a while to really get going but once it did just wow, I was hooked.
This is an author with an exceptional talent for empathy and getting her readers to empathise with very real characters. She is able to bring great depth of feeling to any situation and that to me is a remarkable ability.
Or simply put, another fabulous story that you will want to read in one sitting, so clear some time and pick up this heart warming and emotional story.
Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
I have not read an Amanda Prowse book in a while, and this one sounds amazing. I'll have to look out for it.
