Story
Alice has been lying to herself for years, holding fast to the belief that the needs of her family far outweigh her own. But her outwardly successful marriage hides dark secrets, and for much of her life the children were the only reason she stuck around. These days, though her successful banker son lives nearby, his young wife seems to do everything she can to keep Alice at bay. As for Alice's other son, he has always been something of a stranger and has been traveling for so long that Alice isn't even sure what continent he is on anymore.

Story
Becky’s father is not just absent: he’s a total mystery, a hole in her life. He died before she was born and for her mother, Laura, the subject is strictly off-limits. When Laura books a spontaneous trip to Greece, Becky decides to join her, determined to get closer to her mother - and to the truth. But as they make their way to the island of Santorini, it becomes clear that this holiday is not as impulsive as Becky thought. Laura’s hiding something from her daughter - and she’s been hiding it for Becky’s whole life.

Hannah is 38 and the happily married mother of 11-year-old Luke. Her marriage is reassuringly stable and after 15 years she has managed to push the wild dreams of youth from her mind and concentrate on the everyday satisfactions of here and now. The first half of her life hasn’t been as exciting as she had hoped, but then, she reckons, whose has? When she succeeds in convincing husband Cliff to rent a villa in the south of France for a summer vacation with her sister Jill and gay friend Tristan, she’s expecting little more than a pleasant few weeks with her family.

The day my path crossed with Simon Fox I thought I’d already lost everything, but then he almost ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes. The men in my life had undermined me for too long. Enough was enough. Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better. Wrong. Very wrong. I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with.

Sweet Uplifting Story

Publisher's Summary
When Catherine learns that she is dying, she remembers the words her husband once jokingly uttered and decides to leave him the ultimate posthumous gift: a time capsule containing photographs of their life together along with tape recordings in which she recounts every secret she ever kept, every unspoken thought whether loving or treacherous - the things they never said.
Catherine's recordings shake up many of Sean's beliefs, sometimes enraging him and other times soothing with memories of the many joys that make up a life together. But even as the tapes provide an emotional roller coaster of surprises, Sean prays that they'll confirm the one thing he always secretly believed but never dared say out loud: that destiny exists; that their life together was not the result of mere chance.

Boring couple, Boring Book
I had high expectations picking out and reading this book based on good reviews. Must be me because I didn't think I was going to finish it. Every chapter was so boring and the wife every beginning of tape was that monotone voice Hi Shaun.......dragged out.
Will never get back these 11 hours I listened to. Save your credits on this one.

The feels...
This performance was perfection, first off let me say that right away. Ms. Church couldn’t have done a better job, and this novel I gather wasn’t the easiest to narrate. Lots of dialogue, feelings, and discoveries throughout that she crushed just perfectly. If ever there was a case where an author absolutely loves what a narrator has done with their book I would say this is def one!
This was a beautiful book. Just what I was hoping for with a few twists and turns even. The only negative I can think of is I wish there was more! Honestly...the “time” this couple spent together(thru the recapping)just wasn’t enough for me! I wished for more. I wished there was more talk about them to go along with all the different issues they dealt with over the years. I wanted to hear more of their everyday goings-on, happy days of their early memories looked back on with longing, and just a bit more “meat” on the bone. I think it would have only added to how invested I already was in all the characters. It was great. Really puts you in a place of remembering your own marriage, the ups and downs, and everything that makes up a life together. Looking forward to checking into more from Nick Alexander. Great job all-round here. Don’t hesitate to read!

What a clever and compelling idea for a story.
I really enjoyed this novel, it was particularly good as it was brought to vivid life by the brilliant reading. The many characters were portrayed with authentic voices. The device of the box of tapes retelling the moments from a long relationship worked well.

Emotional
This is a very emotional, thought provoking book that pulled me in from the start.
I have always led my life with no regrets and am an open book. However, I am sure at one time or another in my younger days I didn't always vocalise my deep inner thoughts for fear of reproval but you live and learn.
I felt sorry for Shaun and would definitely not like to experience what he did and do not think I could do the same to my partner in the same situation.

Excellent
Wasn't sure of this format at first, but I stuck with it and then admired the skill the author shows with it.
It really shows how people can live together and never really know everything about each other....
One small point - I didn't think that the main female subject of the book had the right name. Perhaps I could have believed in her fully as a girl from a Council house in Margate if she'd had a different name....as Catherine has connotations ( to me, anyway) of middle/upper classe s...even royalty. Maybe Cathy would have suited more?
