An engrossing novel set in Sydney Australia. When Cecilia Fitzpatrick, a perfect mom,
stalwart volunteer at the local school, and Tupperware representative, finds a
letter addressed to her from her husband John-Paul “to be opened on my death,”
which is not imminent, it sets in motion intertwined tales that will affect
many lives. Rachael is the secretary at
the school that Cecilia’s children attend.
Her daughter was murdered many years ago and she suspects Connor, the
last person to see her alive. Connor is
now a PE teacher at the school and she can hardly bear to be near him. Tess,
who grew up in Sydney returns from Melbourne when she discovers her best friend
and cousin has fallen in love with her husband.
The three had been business partners as well as friends. Tess enrolls her 6 year old son in the school
and reignites an old love for Connor. As
the secrets, not just John-Paul’s, are revealed, tragedy strikes again. I intend to read more of this author’s
work. 416 pp.
