What to expect
She’s been lying my whole life...
As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn't shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she's just told me I'm not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children.
The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there's a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from?
When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet's nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades.
What has my mum done?
Can I trust her?
Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives?
Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.
