Being a good mother and daughter is pushing Eve to her limits. And when she discovers a devastating family secret, something's got to give . . .
Eve is struggling. As she reaches her forty-fifth birthday, there isn't much to celebrate. She's been forced to move her elderly mother into a care home and is juggling a stressful job with taking care of her son, Daniel, who's acting up.
Worse still, her ex-partner Ben-who's enjoying a perfect life with his new family-blames Eve for their son's reckless behavior.
Then, while sorting through her mother's home, which needs to be sold to pay for her care, Eve stumbles across a long-buried family secret that threatens to bring down her delicately balanced house of cards.
From Sarah Edghill, bestselling author of The Pool and His Other Woman, this gripping novel zeroes in on the challenges of being sandwiched between your children and your parents. Everyone needs something from Eve, but she doesn't have much left to give . . .
"Sarah Edghill knows how to pinpoint what goes on in families." -Rachel Joyce, New York Times–bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
