About this listen

From Richard & Judy Book club author Catherine Isaac comes the emotional and uplifting story of love, loss, friendship and a letter that changes everything.

In late 1983, a letter arrives from Italy, containing secrets so unthinkable that it is hidden away, apparently forever. More than three decades later, it is found . . . by the last person who was ever supposed to see it.

When Allie opens an envelope in her grandmother’s house, it changes everything she knows about her family - and herself.

With the truth liable to hurt those she loves most, she hires a private detective to find out what happened to her late mother in the summer before Allie was born. Taking leave from her job as a research scientist, she is led to the sun-drenched shores of Lake Garda, accompanied by her best friend Ed.

But the secrets that emerge go far beyond anything they were expecting. Now, Allie must find the courage to confront her family’s tangled past and reshape her own future.©2019 Catherine Isaac (P)2019 Simon & Schuster UK

Really enjoyed this book. I like long books and took a while to get through it as I dip in and out. The narration was excellent.

Caroline

Wow....I absolutely LOVED this book from beginning to end, brilliant, a must read. The narrator was fantastic and gave each character their own personality. As for the story it will stay with me for a long time, friendship is a powerful emotion.

Something a bit different

Tear jerking romance and frienship stories across several generations. Love the way it's set in a detective style novel.
