Gaby and Connor seem to have a loving marriage ― one that is built on knowing every last intricate detail about one another, or so Gaby has always believed. When their son Ethan sets off for university, discovering for the first time, the raw and uncontrollable intensity of falling in love, Gaby and Connor will be alone again ― a chance to rediscover their relationship, just the two of them.
But there is one person missing from Gaby’s life. One person who she cannot forgot – Nancy, her best friend since childhood. As teenagers they shared their deepest secrets, fears and dreams for the future. As adults they discovered love – Gaby with Connor and Nancy with Gaby’s adored brother, Stefan. The foursome became inseparable.
Then one day, Nancy upped and left.
Now, almost twenty years later, with Ethan away from home, Gaby finds herself idly watching television when a sharp stab of recognition hits her – the face she recognizes on the screen belongs to Nancy. Suddenly, the friend she thought she’d lost for good is within her reach. But does Nancy want to be found?
The search for her long lost friend forces Gaby not only to revisit her past, but could also shatter the course of her future . . .

As well as being a novelist, Nicci Gerrard is a journalist, a campaigner and a humanist celebrant. In 2016 she won the Orwell Prize for Journalism, for 'Exposing Britain's Social Evils', for a piece exploring the 'language' of dementia.
Following her father's terrible final year and his death in November 2014, she and her friend Julia Jones founded John's Campaign, which insists that the carers of people with dementia have the same right as parents of sick children to accompany them when in hospital. The campaign, which seeks to make care for those who are vulnerable and powerless more compassionate, began in a kitchen but is now a national movement, recognised by NHS policy makers, by charities, by nurses and doctors and carers. Four hundred hospitals have already signed up to the campaign.
