Publisher's summary

Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction Discoveries Award 2023

An intensely gripping modern myth about family, secrets, belonging, identity and the power of finding your voice.

Emily has spent her life running away. She never speaks about what happened between her and her mother at her family home when she was a child. All anyone knows is that same night her father packed up the car and drove Emily away. For her safety, he said. She hasn’t been home since.

When her mother dies on her 28th birthday, everything changes. She sees her mother everywhere. She catches glimpses at the corner of her eye. She haunts her dreams.

And as the line between dreaming and waking begins to blur, her husband Matt convinces her that the only way she can make peace with her past is to make one final visit to the house she grew up in. With Matt and her friends by her side, she feels ready to take the leap.

Opening this Pandora's box will change Emily’s life forever. Is she ready to face the truth?

Prepare for the unexpected

The twist at the end was totally unexpected. Not scary but definitely a psychological thriller type book.

Okay if you like supernatural occult fiction

I can appreciate the thoughtful approach to controversial social issues of the day, and the narration was 100% excellent. The plot wasn’t for me; I didn’t expect a tale of the supernatural/occult.

Just bizarre

This was a bizarre storyline and ending. I can see this being made into a Sci Fi movie.

Interesting moral and twist

From the beginning I thought it was good. I usually make it a point not to read the synopsis because there have been times I have passed up good books because it just didn't sound that good. Another benefit of diving in blindfolded is that you don't have any real expectations and when a book is good it just catches you off guard. It has some strong and important messages for black women specifically, but as a woman of mixed race, it is a strong message for any minority.

Twisted

Nice short but full story. The Twists and turns in story were at all the best places!

It was a good listen

I randomly selected this audible novel. It was well done. The last half kept me excited about what was going to happen next.

Wow did not see that coming

Intriguing mystery, it took a long while for her to face the truth and deal with the reality of her situation. Very moving and fantastical story!
