Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The gripping new novel by the nation's favourite storyteller, Lesley Pearse.

What happens when the person closest to you has led a life of deception?

After the funeral of her mother, Sally, Alice Kent is approached by a man named Angus Tweedy. He claims to be her father and tells her that he served time in prison for marrying Sally bigamously.

What does he hope to gain telling her this now, 30 years on? How can her adored dad Ralph not be her true father? And why did her mother betray her so badly?

She had accepted Sally's many faults and her reluctance to never speak of the past. But faced with this staggering deception, Alice knows she must uncover the whole truth about her mother.

Whatever the cost.

Alice's journey into her mother's past is one of incredulity as she discovers a woman shaped by a truly traumatic childhood....

Average book

Deception
The story is quite old fashioned. Didn't like the narrator. Her voice is very shrill, squeaky which has a negative effect on the overall appeal of the book
