The Shadow Child

Más información sobre el libro

Cath and Jim, are a happily married couple whose lives were completely upended when their daughter, Emma, walks out and never contacts them again. They have no idea where she is, nor why she left, nor even whether she is safe. The authorities are sympathetic but Emma is turning eighteen, so there are limits to the help they offer. Cath and Jim are shipwrecked, yet they have somehow to continue living. As they attempt to rebuild themselves, and their relationship with each other, they use an inheritance to buy a small rental property - an almost perfect little house so unlike anything they ever had when young. Ruth and Nick, their first tenants, remind Cath and Jim of themselves at a time when they were full of hope before life went wrong. And so begins an unlikely friendship that has the power to heal or destroy them…
