I have to admit I completely misjudged this book. From the first couple of chapters I thought it would be your typical chick lit-type book. How wrong could I have been? When Dana's husband, Gus, walked out on her with no explanation other than their marriage wasn't going in the direction he thought it would, Dana's life was torn apart. An accomplished writer, Dana was getting ready to complete the book that would launch her in her home country, yet Gus's leaving leaves with that dreaded illness no author wants: writer's block. With her editor, Walter, on her back for the completed novel, Dana finds herself looking to her past for inspiration. Gus thinks he has the whole truth about Dana's past and turns to her estranged brother, Ed, for help. However, when Ed walks back into Dana's life, the secrets and lies begin to unravel. I was captivated from chapter 3 in and the last two lines left a lump in my throat. I haven't previously read any of Colette Caddle's work but I will be searching out her books after reading this gripping novel.
