About this audiobook
Shortlisted for the RNA’s Goldsboro Books Contemporary Romantic Novel Award.
A strange encounter. An unlikely friendship. But will it survive when they both know the truth?
As single mother Leah struggles to get her children ready one morning, the doorbell rings. Standing on the doorstep of their terraced house in Whitley Bay is a well-dressed stranger, Clio, who feels an emotional tie to the house that she can’t explain. The story should end there, but a long-buried secret is already on its way to the surface?
In some ways the two women couldn’t be more different: Leah’s a mother of two and the daughter of a barmaid; Clio’s a perennially single heiress to her baroness mother’s estate. But where Leah lacks grown-up company, Clio lacks any experience of the real world, and the unlikely friendship sparked by their curious first meeting offers both of them a welcome respite from the routine of their lives.
It is a friendship that will answer questions neither of them knew to ask, uncovering secret stories from the past that have stayed hidden for decades. But will it also be the catalyst for them to finally feel that they belong?
Imogen Clark
Imogen Clark lives in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and children. Her first burning ambition was to be a solicitor, and so she read law at Manchester University and then worked for many years at a commercial law firm. After leaving her legal career behind to care for her four children, Imogen turned to her second love—books. She returned to university, studying part-time while the children were at school, and was awarded a BA in English literature with First Class Honours. Her first three novels, Postcards from a Stranger, The Thing about Clare and Where the Story Starts, all reached the Number 1 spot in the UK Kindle charts, and her books have also been Number 1 in Australia and Germany. She has been shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel Award 2020. She is also the author of a Christmas novella, Postcards at Christmas, which is a sequel to Postcards from a Stranger. Imogen loves sunshine and travel, and longs to live by the sea someday.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was okay. I skipped to the end to get to the action cause it was kinda slow and obvious. But nice to have playing in the background while cleaning or something. The very last chapter was my favorite.
