Summary
On a leafy suburban street in Dublin, beautiful, poised Stella Greene lives with her successful husband, Matt. The perfect couple in every way, Stella appears to have it all. Next door, at number 72 however, lives Rea Brady. Gruff, bad-tempered and rarely seen besides the twitching of her net curtains, rumour has it she’s lost it all…including her marbles if you believe the neighbourhood gossip.
But appearances can be deceiving and when Stella and Rea’s worlds collide they realise they have much in common. Both are trapped in a prison of their own making.
Has help been next door without them realising it?
With the warmth and wit of Maeve Binchy and the secrets and twists of Liane Moriarty, this is the utterly original and compelling new novel from Irish Times bestseller Carmel Harrington.
‘Both heart-wrenching and uplifting. The perfect summer read’ Irish Times Bestseller Fionnuala Kearney

A story that tears fell from my eyes.
A beautiful emotional story. Thinking that the true happenings of 2004 resonated with the author.

Such an impactful book
Harrowing. I remember the incident referred to in this book as my eldest son was born 2 months before it happened, I just remember the the absolute the fear and sadness that overtook the world and the utter devastation it caused. It also shines a light on the epidemic that is domestic abuse and mental health but manages to give you a sense of hope despite adversity. Blooming wonderful, will read more from this author now.

Rather contrived
Too many themes in one book. Very big themes and non of them given the detail they deserved.
Ending far too predictable and twee.
Narrator very good.

Amazing
I loved this book. The story line was excellent, I cried, I laughed and didn’t want to put it down. The narrator was also brilliant and made it even better to listen too
