where their story really begins. The story everyone wants to hear. About that spring night in South London, when Isabel and Edward’s lives were torn apart. The night Isabel learned that the worst things wait, just outside the door. The night they never talk about. This is a story of murder. This is a story of survival. But most of all, this is a story of love. 'Taut, elegant and heartbreaking.' - Monica Ali. 'A brilliant character study of trauma, grief and survival.' - Claire Fuller. 'Impossibly accomplished.' - Chris Whitaker. 'Love it when a book lives up to the hype.' - Lisa Jewell.
