On a morning that seems just like any other, Robbie wakes in his bed, his wife Emily asleep beside him, as always. He rises and dresses, makes his coffee, feeds his dogs, just as he usually does. But then he leaves Emily a letter and does something that will break her heart. As the years go back all the way to 1962, Robbie's actions become clearer as we discover the story of a couple with a terrible secret - one they will do absolutely anything to protect.

The speed with which I devoured this book tells you how good the book is, read it in less than twenty-four hours while on my own deadline!
I loved how the story unfolded, from the end to the beginning, revealing intriguing layers of Emily and Robbie's lives throughout the decades.
While I picked the major plot twist early in the story (it's an occupational hazard of being a writer!) it didn't diminish my enjoyment one iota. In fact, as the pages turned to the great revelation, I found myself wondering if in fact I'd guessed right.
Extremely well-written, loved it!
The first book in a long time I have ever finished and immediately gone back to re-read the first chapter.
A wonderfully written story of love. Chapter 1 hits with a sledgehammer once you've finished the book.
A well deserved 5 stars.
