Description
THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
'It is hard to imagine a more timely novel. A fascinating exploration of all sides of a particularly knotty, politicized issue.' Jodi Picoult
'A knock-out twist' Gillian McAllister
'Will have book clubs across the country in hot debate! Brilliant.' Clare Mackintosh
****
Two best friends
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 both trust that the safety of their children is their top priority.
One little secret
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.
Every parent's worst nightmare . . .
