Synopsis

A whispering voice at the back of my mind reminds me that I’ve been this way for some time. Dead, that is.The dead have a very broad view of the living, of actions performed out of sight, of thoughts believed to be private. I would know. Losing both parents is a trial no child should endure, and Marina and Dylan have endured enough. They deserve the one thing I could never give them: a mother’s love.A mother’s love, and the truth.My children have believed a lie about me for years and years. After all this time I can still feel their hurt in my heart. But the tether holding me to them is frayed from years of neglect . . . and I have to find a way to make my confession before it snaps.But when the truth comes out, what other beasts will I unleash?

Goodreads review by Melissa (Sailing the Greek Isles)

At times, Healy’s latest is just strange. It takes a while to get the idea of what is going on, and even then, perception may change again. The unique style and perspective make the book appealing, if one can get past the initial confusion. Marina and Dylan’s mother apparently committed suicide many......more
