Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to stories where family secrets unravel across generations and change everything the characters thought they knew about themselves.
You loved Garden of Lies and want more of Goudge's gift for weaving together fractured families with genuine emotional stakes.
You appreciate slow-burn suspense built on character relationships rather than plot twists, with romance woven throughout.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced page-turners where the mystery is solved by the halfway mark and action drives the story forward.
You're looking for a cosy read. This novel deals directly with adoption trauma, loss, and the weight of hidden lives.
You want contemporary settings. The 1970s backdrop is integral to the story and its themes about desperation and class.

About this book

In the early 1970s, Ellie Nightingale moves to New York as a young, impoverished single mother with nowhere to turn except her sister, a prostitute. Despite working hard to build a better life for her child, Ellie's baby is kidnapped and given to a wealthy Connecticut couple. Skyler Sutton grows up in privilege with riding lessons and fine clothes, unaware that her adoptive parents are not her biological family. When an unplanned pregnancy places her in the same difficult circumstances her birth mother once faced, Skyler is forced to confront her past. As three women connected by fate move toward a significant revelation, the novel weaves together their stories of romance and suspense.
