About this listen
“Wonderful. . . . Dark, funny, full of emotional intelligence and gripping from the start . . . beautifully written.”—Daily Mail
The internationally bestselling author and host of The Graham Norton Show returns with a tense and darkly comic novel that casts a caustic light on the relationship between mothers and daughters and truth and self-preservation.
Where do secrets live?
Carol is a divorced teacher living in a small town in Ireland, her only son now grown. A second chance at love brings her unexpected connection and belonging—and sparks a flurry of speculation. What does a woman like her see in a man like that? What happened to his wife who abandoned him and his children all those years ago? Carol and Declan know their relationship is the talk of the town, but the gossip only serves to bring the couple closer.
When Declan becomes ill, their relationship falters. His children are untrusting and cruel, and Carol is forced to leave their beloved home, with its worn oak floors and elegant features, and move back with her parents.
Carol’s mother is determined to get to the bottom of things—she won't see her daughter suffer this way. It seems there are secrets in Declan's past, strange rumors that were never confronted, and suddenly the house they shared takes on a more sinister significance that affects them all.

Love Graham
Started out great, loved the story line Loved his narrative and voices were amazing. Felt the story lost depth in the end. Handling murder of a family member and child abuse lacked a lot of feeling. To say nothing of how the mother dealt with it. I kept rewriting it in my head. My third Graham book my least favourite
The handling of dementia and couples rights if not we’d were well considered

Finished in record time.. darn it !!
As soon as I start a book I can tell if I’m going to love it or not. This one hooked me like all 4 of Graham Nortons books have. Graham narrating the book pushes the overall experience to the full 5* rating I have awarded it as his narrative is warm and engaging, and even made me snort with laughter inappropriately during the most extreme moments of the storyline and characters.
The characters themselves became very real and engaging, Monica in particular, is priceless and quite deserving of her own miniseries. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story, once again set in rural Ireland where the people are as characterful as the country itself. My problem is, I just have to find something else to listen to now that can match this great story for entertainment. Nice work Graham xxxx

Very entertaining!
I really enjoy Norton's sly sense of humour and use of language. I think that the audio version of the is the best way to enjoy his books, hearing the accents as they're meant to be. I did not expect such an adventure when I first started to listen. I recommend this book.
