About this listen

With her 40th birthday approaching, Lucy Carpenter dares to hope that she finally has it all: a wonderful new husband, Jonah, a successful career and the chance of a precious baby of her own. Life couldn't be more perfect.

But the reality of becoming parents proves much harder than Lucy and Jonah imagined. Jonah's love and support is unquestioning, but as Lucy struggles with work and her own failing dreams, the strain on their marriage increases. Suddenly it feels like Lucy is close to losing everything...

Heart-wrenching and poignant, this latest work by best-selling author Amanda Prowse asks the question: what does it mean to be a mother in today's hectic world? And what if it's asking too much to want it all?

I am working my way through all her books. All thoroughly enjoyed so far. About 8. Hard to believe one woman can write so many original story lines. Brilliant.

I love her voice, the sound and the written voice.

Not ever having been a mother through choice, I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t be able to relate to the characters in this book. It only took a couple of chapters to realise that the subject of miscarriage was approached compassionately and as part of a story I very much enjoyed.

A Compassionately Good Read

Struggled with the first couple of chapters as not my normal kind of book but glad I persevered and thoroughly enjoyed ut

not my usual book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I found this book rather self indulgent. The main character was self absorbed and made everything about her. In fact all the characters were annoying

Beyond irritating narration

A little insight into what terrible heartbreak is experienced by a whole family when a miscarriage happens and a series of them must be SO heartbreaking.

Very touching .

I'm glad I didn't. It was a story filled with love but also heavy on the sadness.

I nearly abandoned this somewhere in the middle

Excellent read that will keep you addicted till the end.

A compelling storyline that truly reflects the ups and downs of a families relationship. Refreshing narrative that coincides with the characters a must !

Excellent
