About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The eagerly awaited, life-affirming and moving new novel from number one best-selling Author Dawn French.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...midnight.

The old millennium turns into the new.

In the same hospital, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.

Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl.

Anna leaves with empty arms.

Seventeen years later, the gods who keep watch over broken-hearted mothers wreak mighty revenge and the truth starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.

The power of mother-love will be tested to its limits.

Perhaps beyond....

Because Of You is Dawn French's stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.

Such a beautifully written story and so wonderfully read by The author herself, Dawn French. She put such feeling into every word. I felt as if I knew all the characters as if I were living their lives myself. Feeling very emotional as I write this as I have just finished listening. At last, a real, proper ending to a book. Thank you Dawn x

A lovely story full of warmth and humour. It made me reflect on my role as a daughter and a mother. Easy listening and sad when it ended as I have enjoyed the characters. Lovely to hear it read by Dawn.

This was a really good book. I chose the audible version especially to hear Dawn French bring it to life. I found it a little tough at first as some of the themes chimed with my own personal life, so may have had dust in my eye a couple of times, but couldn't stop listening and actually found the story helped me heal a little. The characters were really interesting and the story kept me warm on my daily winter walks.
I heard Dawn say in an interview that she put a lot of herself into this book and you feel that, the emotions and mother daughter relationships are really powerful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this very touching story of love and loss. Very real and believable characters and I readily empathised with both sides. The tears streamed down my face as I listened on my afternoon walk.

An excellent and very moving story

Loved this book. Took a little to get into, but once the narrative took over you couldn't stop listening.

There was real imagination in the base story. Obviously there was literary license taken with the policing and medical facts ( plus a few others that would have got in the way) the story was heartwarming and satisfying.

Well done Dawn, fabulous book.

Amazing
