Book description
On a shimmeringly hot Sunday in May, Louise is at a neighbour's pool
with her daughters - and glaring at her resentfully is her estranged
husband Barnaby. While the children splash and shriek in the cool,
blue waters, she lies blissfully back in the sun and dreams of
Cassian, the charismatic new lawyer in her life. The day seems
perfect.
But suddenly the bliss is shattered. The consequences of a terrible
accident develop into a drama of recriminations, jealousy and legal
power-play. Friendships crumble, the village is split, and the needs
of a child become secondary to the dangerous contest in which the
grown-ups are engaged.

former financial journalist. She is the author of the number one
bestsellers Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess,

As Madeleine Wickham she has written seven bestselling novels. She
lives in London with her husband and children.
