Summary
From the bestselling author of Where the Story Starts comes a tale about dealing with the past - and finally facing the future.
Pip Appleby seems to have it all, with her prestigious job as a human rights lawyer and her enviable London home. But then a tragic accident stops her life in its tracks, and in an instant everything changes. Retreating to her family’s rural farm and the humble origins she has been trying to hide, Pip is haunted by what she has done.
When she discovers the diary of actress Evelyn Mountcastle in a box of old books, Pip revels in the opportunity to lose herself in someone else’s life rather than focus on the disaster that is her own. But soon she sees parallels - Evelyn’s life was also beset by tragedy, and, like Pip, she returned to Southwold under a dark cloud.
When Pip and Evelyn’s paths cross in real life they slowly begin to reveal the hidden stories that are holding them back. Can they help each other forgive what happened in the past and, perhaps, find happiness in the future?

another book about a rich, beautiful woman who has issues... but, ultimately is very rich and very beautiful so it's not realistic. The same issues for an average living waged, bog-standard woman... then you have a real story.

Enjoyed every minute
I enjoyed every minute of this book, it’s a book that you want to know the ending but you don’t want it to end, if you know what I mean.
The narrator Karen Cass is just brilliant.
Another great book from Imogen Clark ❤️

Abrupt ending
After reading another of the author’s novels, ‘Impossible to Forget’, and really enjoying it, I listened to this one hoping to enjoy it just as much. This one seemed to lack something by comparison though, It had such a promising start and developed well as the two stories came together but then it seemed to lose its way with story lines petering out to nothing. There was no twist and no denouement, in fact the ending seemed abrupt and rushed, narration was lovely but otherwise a bit disappointing.

Great Book
Great storyline and superb narration as always from Karen Cass. I couldn't put this book down but I did find the ending seemed a little sharp for me, I guess I just didn't want the story to stop there !! Highly recommend, Enjoy

Very uplifted by this book
A bit daunting at first but the positive outcomes for the 2 main characters really were worth the read.
