About this listen

She’s given her daughter everything. Now it’s time to give her the truth.

Becky’s father is not just absent: he’s a total mystery, a hole in her life. He died before she was born and for her mother, Laura, the subject is strictly off-limits. When Laura books a spontaneous trip to Greece, Becky decides to join her, determined to get closer to her mother - and to the truth.

But as they make their way to the island of Santorini, it becomes clear that this holiday is not as impulsive as Becky thought. Laura’s hiding something from her daughter - and she’s been hiding it for Becky’s whole life. Not only has she been here before, it’s where she last saw Becky’s father.

But Laura’s memories of that first visit are tinged with pain and heartbreak, secrets she’s kept buried for twenty-five years. Now, with the truth emerging into the sunlight at last, can Laura and Becky lay the ghosts of their past to rest and find the happiness they’ve both been looking for?

I read and listened to this book the audible parts enhanced my the book in this case. Very slow start that ramped up as the book went along. A woman Laura meets a guy at a rave and hesitantly agrees to go on holiday with him to her dream destination of Santorini.

Their time together does not go well abroad and in the midst of things she meets another man and he seems to be the one. After one terrifying night between the two men - Laura goes home her missing suitcase has the love of her life’s information in it.

Fast forward 24 years and this is when the book gets interesting

For someone who normally reads thrillers, this was completely different, but I loved it. The narration by Esther and Rachael was perfect and really added to how the story flowed and came across. I loved the story and couldn't put the book down. In fact, I didn't want it to end, got really involved in their lives and I wanted to keep listening to the rest of Laura and Leaf's life.

Loved the story

A mother and daughter on a journey together as well as each having their own personal journey. The various stories interwoven and how each learned more about the other made for an interesting listen, though I felt the daughter, supposedly 21 or 22 and finished university still behaved more like a sulky ("Its all about ME") teenager

a wonderful heart pulling story. made me want to listen to more by the same author

loved it. couldn't stop listening. it was lovely

un-putdownable story, good narration and I will look for more by this author. My only slight issue is with the voice of Mum. When telling her own story she spoke well but when narrative was quoting her in Becky's story, her accent was rough and that fake London accent people put on. Otherwise the narration could not have been better.

Tired all today because I could not stop reading.

I can’t finish this rubbish! Badly researched, characters are wooden and full of preconceived prejudices. The writer appears to dislike the Irish, Catholics, women, Greeks, recent European history and the English language! Don’t waste your time on this rubbish
