About this listen

'A gorgeous story of love, loss, best friends and unbreakable bonds. It truly melted my heart' Shari Low

As young women, Lise and Emma had the kind of friendship people dream about.

While Lise's own family was distant and disengaged, Emma's was welcoming and warm, and for the first twenty-six years of their life, growing up together in a close-knit community, the duo were inseparable.

But when they decide to spend one year living together in Paris, what starts as the adventure of a lifetime becomes a disaster that changes everything. And when Emma returns to Bath the following summer, Lise stays behind in France, their friendship in tatters.

Now, sixteen years later, Lise has come back to their hometown, determined to put things right. But to do so, she'll have to face up to the truth about what happened in Paris. And with Emma refusing to talk to her, can she get close enough to share her secret?

A warm-hearted and gripping story from bestselling author Helen Rolfe that will captivate fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Bramley and Jessica Redland.

‘I really loved this book! I ended up devouring it all in just two sittings…’ Jo Bartlett

'A beautiful tale exploring the bonds of family and friendship and how strong these are when tested. Loved it' Jessica Redland
