The Things You’ll Never Know

Fiona stares up at the faces of her husband, Adam, and their children. They’ve found her on the hallway floor. The double doors slam on the ambulance, and Fiona watches it take her body away—but how can that be, if she’s still here in her home, with her family? That’s when she realizes her worst fear has come true: Fiona is dead.

In the days that follow, Fiona moves quietly among them, as they become increasingly suspicious about her death, and each other. Everyone seems to be hiding something—her depressive [PD1] [AA2] husband, her devoted best friend, her estranged younger sister, her precocious six-year-old son, and most of all, Fiona herself. That is, until her teenage daughter discovers Fiona’s diary—and the stunning betrayal she was hiding.

A daring, fiery novel about motherhood, womanhood, and desire. Audrain has an uncanny ability to render the female experience with aching precision. Filled with jaw-dropping twists and peopled with characters so real they could be blood relatives or neighbours, this electrifying novel will haunt you in the very best ways

Nita Prose, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Maid series
