I found this audiobook to be a well narrated tale with an interesting method of using differing memories to develop the plot. Interesting and engaging from the start. An intriguing listen.

This is an interesting tale of how the past reverberates to the present and the impact of childhood trauma. A long forgotten incident quietly haunts Cass until a funeral proves the final trigger for unravelling. It’s a thoughtful and quietly disturbing insight into familial relationships and memory. Perspectives differ and each has a different take on the situation. The timeline is split along with the narrative point, but it’s never confusing and I was intrigued as to how it would all pan out. Very much character rather than action driven, Very well narrated throughout and overall, much food for thought. This would make a great book club read as it raises so many questions about choices and relationships. I enjoyed it.

A single holiday has echoing effects on the future of this eclectic cast of characters as they struggle to reconcile with the quiet hurt of their childhood and relationships.

Reid excels in character-driven plots and the mysterious death at the beginning of the novel set up a great intrigue that slowly unravelled. The ending, however, was really disappointing, some of the characters being under-developed and I was frustrated with the choices Reid makes in the novel's final revelations.

A very quiet and subtle novel that uses the spanning of time within a family, their relationships and life to unravel a current trauma, a trauma that is going unrecognised. The author provides a really clever insight into how many people will remember moments in wildly different ways. How many truths there are.

Overall a gentle story with a heavyweight punch.

The audio narration by Jessica Douglas Henry and Sonia Kerr was great.

Much gratitude to W F Howes LTD and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this audiobook 🎧

An incredibly good listen, that had just the right amount of uncomfortable to it.
The flitting back and forth in the timelibe had me guessing all the time EXACTLY what had gone on, in the past and the present.
Really pleased I picked this one up.
