‘It is hard to imagine a more timely novel. A fascinating exploration of all sides of a particularly knotty, politicized issue.’ Jodi Picoult
‘Will have book clubs across the country in hot debate! Brilliant.’ Clare Mackintosh
****
You should never judge how someone chooses to raise their child.
Elizabeth and Bryony are polar opposites but their unexpected friendship has always worked. They’re the best of friends, and godmothers to each other’s daughters – because they trust that the safety of their children is both of their top priority.
But what if their choice could harm your own child?
Little do they know that they differ radically over one very important issue. And when Bryony, afraid of being judged, tells what is supposed to be a harmless white lie before a child’s birthday party, the consequences are more catastrophic than either of them could ever have imagined . . .
****
‘Really beautifully written, compassionately told and incredibly thought provoking. A truly immersive telling of both sides of a story’ Susan Lewis
