A Family of Strangers

By: Fiona Lowe

Narrated by: Rebecca Macauley

Acutely observed, sharp and absorbing - an insightful exploration of the pain and beauty of mother-daughter relationships from best-selling Australian author Fiona Lowe.

Three women - and a betrayal that changes everything....

With a coveted promotion dangling within reach, the last thing Addy Topic needs to do is waste precious time singing in Rookery Cove’s choir. But when she’s reminded how much music meant to her late mother, she can’t say no.

For Stephanie Gallagher, Rookery Cove was meant to be a new beginning, a place where she and her husband can embrace community, parenthood and evenly share the load. But the sea-change is changing everything. How much longer can they survive as a family?

Brenda Lambeck is finding her feet after the death of her husband when her best friend convinces her to join the choir. Beloved as a grandmother, Brenda is determined to mend the fraught relationship she has with her daughter. But is that even possible when she continues to lie?

In the wake of a spectacular betrayal, three women are forced to face the uncompromising truths about the choices that have shaped their relationships with those they love most. After such a disaster is rebuilding even possible?

Would have been better with multiple narrators

Would have been better with multiple narrators, one for each of the characters.
Otherwise a cute story

Wonderful!

Great story, as always. Will happily listen to anything Fiona Lowe writes. Beautifully read as well.

Loved this

I am new to this author and I loved this book. I live in Texas and I can so picture the area and scenes. Listening to this book made cooking, cleaning, and watering so much more pleasurable.

Good story

I would have preferred knowing in advance of purchasing that one of the storyline couples was gay. I don't enjoy reading about gay relationships.
