À propos de cet audio
SOON TO BE A MOTION PICTURE
Film rights sold to Notting Hill director Roger Michell and producer Kevin Loader
A new mother becomes convinced that her children are not her own…
Lauren, a new mother, is exhausted by the demands of her twin boys. Since coming home from the hospital, she rarely leaves the house. But it isn't only new motherhood keeping her there. Lauren knows someone is watching them and someone wants her babies. It started with an incident at the hospital and an emergency call in the middle of the night. No one believes her -- not her husband, not the police -- until one day in the park when everything changes. Is Lauren mad or does she know something no one else does?
A gripping novel that gets to the heart of a mother’s worst fears, and how often they are ignored.
Though that wasn't what I'd hoped for if the story had centered on only those characters it would have been stronger for it. Instead, the narrative is split between the mother of the twins, and a police officer who adds nothing to the plot. It felt very much that she was shoe-horned in, and she was terrible. From harrassing an elderly woman with dementia to watching men tackle a woman in crisis and remarking on how this restraint could be "mistaken for assault to the untrained eye" she's the 'I dont play by the rules' character you're meant to root for but hate. It reads like a manifesto encouraging more lax police regulations and a higher budget, while showing that a single investigative reporter can accomplish more than an entire police force.
On the plus side, the narrator was phenomenal. Definitely the best part of this experience.
