In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe. Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, one bright morning and a single, earth-shattering event that threatens to destroy their bond for ever. Spanning four decades and moving between suburban Essex, the wild coast of Cornwall and the streets of New York, this is a story about childhood, eccentricity, the darker side of love and sex, the pull and power of family ties, loss and life. More than anything, it's a story about love in all its forms.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Winman, Sarah<br />Unabridged ed.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>[Melbourne, Vic.] : Bolinda audio, 2023.<br /><br />eLibrary - (Buckinghamshire libraries) - eAudiobook - Electronically available (Set: 11 Oct 2023) - Access resource<br /> https://buckinghamshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=5645064 Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they?d spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his best friend Spencer Hill, they can?t help but worry. Within days of installing a sophisticated spy program on Adam?s computer they are jolted by a cryptic message from an unknown correspondent that shakes them to their core: 'Just stay quiet and all safe.' Nearby, while browsing through an online memorial for Spencer, Betsy Hill discovers a surprising detail about the night of her son?s death. Before she can find out more, Adam disappears, taking the truth with him and sending shockwaves through the neighborhood. As the lives of these families collide in tragic, unexpected, and violent ways, long-hidden connections in their small suburb begin to work their way to the surface. And when an unidentified Jane Doe is beaten to death not far away, those connections threaten to turn this quiet community upside down - and force these desperate parents to decide whether there is any line they won?t cross to protect those they love most in the world.
