Summary

Her whole world hinged on the moment one man jumped.... On a perfect summer's day in Paris, tourists on a river trip watch in horror as drama unfolds. A small boy has fallen overboard and disappeared below the surface of the water. As his mother stands frozen to the spot, another passenger jumps....

This is the story of how a single act of courage transforms the lives of all those involved. Louise Candlish returns with her most page-turning and emotional story to date.

Lovely and absorbing

A book about people and relationships that is well told and well narrated - not so much a thriller like her other books, but enjoyable nevertheless.

A compelling story!

I really enjoyed Louise Candlish’s book the day you saved my life, it has many ups and downs and twists and turns, which I found compelling. I have read many of her other books, and admit I am a fan!

Thought provoking

Interesting story in which the characters interact with each other, a few twists and turns along the way, I was happy with the ending and felt it was well written and entertaining. The hours flew by, even though it was a lot of listening hours. Worth a read

sophisticated portrait of human relationships

Great writing way beyond simply 'what happens' - a skilful exploration of the deeper feelings, behaviours and motivations behind interrelating.

Thought provoking

Interesting story about the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Not full of twists and turns, but still captivating in a different way. Perhaps a little depressing in parts - so not suitable for everybody.

It was not an uplifting read in any way

Very disappointing

I listened to this whole book all the while awaiting a twist or turn or something that would get the story going, but it never came. The characters were well rounded, but the story itself was bland and predictable - nothing ever happened. There were many opportunities in the storyline but the author seemed to want a break from interesting twists and turns and settled instead for a boring love story. I probably would have thought this was an OK book if I hadn't listened to a number of Louise Candlish's other books which were full of surprises. If you liked The Swimming Pool, Our House, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers or the Disappearance of Emily Marr then I wouldn't bother with this one as it will be a total waste of your credit.

Don't waste a credit!

Everything I've ready by Louise Candlish has been brilliant but this one...oh my god what has happened? The narration is dreary and the story just isn't getting going. I've given up after two chapters. Life's too short to persevere. Just wish I could return the book...
