Every story has two sides.

Every relationship has two perspectives.

And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets.

Critic reviews

"A really powerful novel." (President Obama)
All stars

I loved the first half it was so well written it flows so seamlessly from scene to scene character to character. Effortless Exquisitely beautiful. But the twist of the second half threw me. Didn’t enjoy it at all became very far fetched and ruined what could have been a great book

Great first half

very clever and completely absorbing

Really enjoyed this book. Story spans the life of two people and has surprising twists. Great writing and reflection on life.

A story through two angles

Luckily I always have a physical copy of the book as well as the audio, but if you're just listening to this, be aware that a vital 2 pages of plot explanation (p.375 after "aunt" until p.377 "They showed up") is MISSING entirely. Without it, the following few pages will probably be misunderstood and Antoinette's role not fully clear.

Anyway, this isn't the first Penguin audio book with such a problem and the last one I reported was fixed and my review was taken down, so I hope Penguin responds to this with an updated version of the audio, but if you're reading this review, they haven't done it yet.

Audio is MISSING a vital section near the end
