APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This emotionally engaging pageturner made author Kathryn Hughes a self-published sensation, eventually attracting the notice of a major publisher. Once we started reading the novel, we couldn’t stop. By story’s end, we had cried serious tears. When Englishwoman Tina finds a crumpled love note in the pocket of an old jacket, she sets about to find the subject of the letter: a woman named Chrissie. As we followed the women’s parallel storylines—and the fates of their unborn children—we found ourselves really hoping that both characters would find the love they deserved.
