About the book

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, PICKED FOR THE ZOE BALL TV BOOK CLUB

'Ruth Jones is excellent on human nature and why we make the mistakes we do. I felt for every character. Unputdownable.' Jojo Moyes

The past has a habit of tracking us down. And tripping us up.

When Kate was twenty-two, she had an intense and passionate affair with a married man, Callum, which ended in heartbreak. Kate thought she'd never get over it.

Seventeen years later, life has moved on - Kate, now a successful actress, is living in London, married to Matt and mother to little Tallulah. Meanwhile Callum and his wife Belinda are happy together, living in Edinburgh and watching their kids grow up. The past, it would seem, is well and truly behind them all.

But then Kate meets Callum again.

And they are faced with a choice: to walk away from each other . . . or to risk finding out what might have been.

Second chances are a rare gift in life. But that doesn't mean they should always be taken . . .

-

In her unmissable debut, actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones shows us the dangers of trying to recapture that which was once lost and failing to realise the beauty of what we already have.

    Das Buch ist so spannend, da es eine Geschichte aus dem Leben erzählt. Über Entscheidungen, die getroffen wurden und von derer Konsequenzen so viele Personen betroffen sind. Ich habe es geliebt und nicht weg legen können.

    Fatale Begierde Starkes Buch über Verlangen und wie zerstörend Liebe sein kann

    Ein Buch das man nicht weglegen mag. Einfühlsame Beziehungsdarstellungen, verwobene Schicksale zwischen Leidenschaft und Realität. Mitreißende Storys verzwickter Lebensgeschichten im flüssigen Schreibstil. 5 Sterne schon allein wegen der absolut realistischen Darstellung dieser Dreiecksgeschichte.

    Eieiei, da hat die Autorin ja mal ein heikles Thema angepackt. Frei nach dem Motto "Geschichten, die das Leben so spielt" und über die man eigentlich das Tabu-Deckchen legt. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass keinem der Charaktere eine Ich-Perspektive verpasst wurde, sodass man allen gleichwegs neutral gegenüberstehen kann. Ich fand's lesenswert.
