Summary
Maisie Brennan is standing on a podium on the 20th anniversary of the death of her son, trying to find the first breath that will help her start talking to a room full of strangers.
A daunting task at the best of times, but she's also menopausal and one hot flush away from totally losing it. But as Maisie begins her story, she relaxes and, word by word, disappears into her past, back to the day when one mistaken action led to a chain of events that changed her life forever....

The story telling.
I just love Anna McPartlan’s story telling- you feel right there in the room with her and you feel like she could be telling your own story, she’s so relatable. The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes is a prime example.

I wept buckets!
A hard subject matter to write about, i have 2 boys of a similar age and i just had to pounce on them for cuddles!
Once i explained why i was being more affectionate than usual they laughed at me! But i did feel them squeeze a bit tighter!

I read and listen to Audiobooks a lot every day in fact. This book was just breathtaking every emotion possible is in there. The narrator was as usual fantastic cannot fault her totally engaging, the story was beautifully written. I really hope to read and listen to more of this fantastic authors' books. I found myself weeping at times and laughing out loud. really sad i have finished this book.

Just brilliant!
One of the best books I have listened to for a while. The characterisation was excellent and the the storyline was handled both empathetically and compassionately. Thank you x

A book that will stay with you forever
This book is beautifully written and narrated, and will stay with me forever. It is addictive to listen to and takes you through so many emotions from laughter to tears. I can not recommend this book enough, it is one in a million....
