Why would a man who loved his wife - so much that in the quarter century since her death, he hasn't found someone to take her place - why wouldn't he have a record of the life he'd had with her, of the baby they'd made?

Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New' Hampshire by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and a job she loves, finding missing persons.

But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. And then a policeman knocks at her door, and her world fractures into something unrecognisable ...

'A gripping tale of trust, love and forgotten memories ... If you're after a book that will have you utterly enthralled and stay with you long after you've finished it, look no further.'

Heat

'Gripping read . . . never slips into straightforwardly familiar territory, and successfully avoids being overly sentimental'

Guardian

'Picoult takes a red hot topic and turns it into a gripping and thought-provoking novel'

Woman & Home

'Jodi Picoult in not one to shy away from fictional contro­versy; in fact, the more tangled and messy a moral dilemma appears, the better she likes it. . . she creates the kind of satisfying emotional conundrums that have her fans wondering about what they would have done in the exact same circumstances, long after they've turned the final page of her latest novel.'

Daily Mail

'The novel is slick and pacey and the author has done her research ... if you like a brisk read with a soft centre, this is the novel for you'

The Sunday Times

'An emotional and powerful book about the power of memory and how trust can often be misplaced'

Women's Weekly

'Elegant, spare prose with the punch of a popular thriller'
