She needs help and Mavis is overjoyed to oblige and be regarded as useful for once. But when the true motives of Edith’s kindness are revealed, Mavis faces a monumental decision, one which could change her life forever.

Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working-class area became the inspiration for her novels.
In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27.
After working for 2 years with other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty took up writing as a form of catharsis, and now lives in Spain with her husband. She is a Sunday Times bestseller.
