Synopsis

Evie Hamilton appears to lead a charmed life as the wife of an Oxford don and mother of model daughter Anna. But a letter arrives one day that challenges the very foundations on which her life is built, and leaves her and husband Antony completely floored.

As Evie tries her best to dust herself off and adjust to this bolt from the blue, she finds herself experiencing a more profound crisis of confidence, questioning her role within her marriage, family, and life in general. Just who is Evie Hamilton, and has she the strength of mind to overcome this hurdle and become the woman she really wants to be?

From the Back Cover:

Evie Hamilton has a secret . . . one she doesn't even know about. Yet . . .

Evie's an Oxfordshire wife and mum who's biggest worry in life is whether or not she can fit in a manicure on her way to fetch her daughter from clarinet lessons. But she's blissfully unaware that her charmed and happy life is about to be turned upside-down.

For one sunny morning a letter lands on Evie's immaculate doormat. It's a bombshell, knocking her carefully arranged and managed world completely askew and it threatening to sabotage all she holds dear.

What will be left and what will change forever? Is Evie strong enough to fight for what she loves? Can her entire world really be as fragile as her best china?
