Her task is simple: support her sister Lydia, a brilliant but brittle ballet dancer, through the final weeks of her pregnancy. Once the baby is born, she is to make a phone call that will change all of their lives forever. Decades later, Edith is living a contented life in Ireland, happily divorced and finally free. But with the arrival of an unexpected message, Edith must face the truth of that long-ago summer, and the secret she has carried for a lifetime. ‘Tender and rueful’ - Emma Donoghue 'A delicious novel' - Literary Review 'Sublime . . . glorious' - Vogue 'Luminous' - Financial Times 'Beautifully crafted . . . absorbing and moving' - Daily Mail
