Reviews
A fabulous drama... it kept me turning the pages from beginning to end.
A storage unit is perhaps a setting more associated with a crime drama - a body in a lock up perhaps or a stash of stolen goods. But in Lisa Timoney's moving family drama, it is the perfect backdrop for secrets held - at great cost - over many years. From the first page I was gripped by these highly relatable women and the intrigue I knew was hiding beneath their interweaving stories. Another accomplished read from this author; fans of well-written absorbing women's fiction will love it.
