Some of which can be devastating.

Reviews

  • An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end.

    Daily Mail, Books of the Year

  • Something of a moral fable about modern relationships, this is a smart and enjoyable story

    Sunday Mirror

  • The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting. Take this to the beach, or indeed anywhere — I promise you won’t regret it.

    Daily Mail

  • Prepare to totally forget about your family as you become immersed in someone else’s.

    Stellar Magazine

  • There are so many psychological thrillers around right now – but this is one of the best.
