'Utterly gripping' Marie Claire
One minute John is the cornerstone of Eva's world; a rock to his two teenage stepdaughters and his own son Theo. The next he is tossed through the air in a traffic accident, and snapped like a twig.
His sudden death changes everything. Eva struggles with the terror and desolation of loneliness, and finds herself drawn back to her untrustworthy ex-husband; Emily, the eldest daughter, grapples with her new-found independence and responsibility. Little Theo can only begin to fathom the permanence of his father's death. But for Daisy, John's absence opens up a whole world of confusion just at the onset of adolescence and blossoming sexuality.
And in steps a man only too willing to take advantage ...
