As we delve into the past we deal with some pretty horrific encounters, abuse, manipulation, pregnancy (and things surrounding it of that time period), adoption, death/loss. Now she is determined to do some digging and get answers about her mother, who she really was and her past. The book flips between present day and back to Sally's mums youth and the years leading up to meeting Sally's dad. Whilst sorting through my drafts, I realised that I hadn’t posted my review for this book, apologies to Edpr and the publishers.

I had a reread of the book and loved it just as much as the first time (can’t really go wrong with this authors work)I immediately felt for Alice, but more so for her mum, Sally’s story was heartbreaking, whilst not in agreement with some of her actions, I can see why she undertook them. This is a pacy read and I was swept along with the story and always I am looking forward to reading more by the author. Once the funeral is passed she meets a man who tells her something that will turn her whole world upside down.
