2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a tale of a blissful life, a happy marriage, a beloved son...and a tragedy that destroys it all. When Rachel Croft wakes up on her family's boat in Bermuda, it's to sunshine and yet another perfect day...until she goes to wake her seven-year-old son, Oscar. Because the worst thing imaginable has happened. He isn't there. In the dark and desperate days that follow, Rachel struggles to navigate her grief. And while her husband, James, wants them to face the tragedy together, Rachel feels that the life they once shared is over. Convinced that their happy marriage is now a sham, and unable to remain in the place where she lost her son, she goes home to Bristol alone. Only when she starts receiving letters from Cee-Cee, her housekeeper in Bermuda, does light begin to return to Rachel's soul. She and James both want to learn to live again--but is it too late for them to find a way through together?

Amanda Prowse really knows how to get the reader gripped and a warning you will need the tissues for this one. Beautifully written you really get a sense of the emotions the family feels over the loss of Oscar. The grief felt and the jumble of emotions and also how people cope differently. Thought it was brilliant. I need a new box of tissues now though 💜

"Rachel sat up quickly in the bed. This was how she woke now–alarmed, gasping for breath & with the churn of sickness at the cloudy thought somewhere at the back of her mind that she had to be somewhere or had missed something very important. . . . It usually took a second for her to remember the event that had cleaved open her world. And when she did remember, her tears fell, & it was like it was the first time she had heard the news."
