Omschrijving

***OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD***

'I was gripped . . . compelling, twisty, heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. A novel that stays with you' SOPHIE KINSELLA, Sunday Times bestselling author

A heartbreaking letter. A girl locked away. A mystery to be solved.

1956. When Ivy Jenkins falls pregnant she is sent in disgrace to St Margaret's, a dark, brooding house for unmarried mothers. Her baby is adopted against her will. Ivy will never leave.

Present day. Samantha Harper is a journalist desperate for a break. When she stumbles on a letter from the past, the contents shock and move her. The letter is from a young mother, begging to be rescued from St Margaret's. Before it is too late.

Sam is pulled into the tragic story and discovers a spate of unexplained deaths surrounding the woman and her child. With St Margaret's set for demolition, Sam has only hours to piece together a sixty-year-old mystery before the truth, which lies disturbingly close to home, is lost for ever...

Read her letter. Remember her story...

Perfect for fans of Philomena and Kathryn Hughes, this gripping novel of long-buried secrets, inspired by a true story, will stay with you for ever.
