MEET EVA MARTÍNEZ-GREEN, AN ONLY CHILD FULL OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HER BEGINNINGS.
Between her emotionally absent mother and her physically absent father, there is nobody to answer them. Eva is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why are there no baby pictures of her? Why do her parents avoid all questions about her early years?
When her parents’ relationship crumbles, Eva begins a journey to find these answers for herself. Her desire to discover where she belongs leads Eva on a journey spanning decades and continents – and, along the way, she meets women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be, and who will change her life forever…

Gripping and engaging story, sensational narator
A wonderful gripping story. I felt as if I was listening to a true story based on real events, not fiction. It was so cleverly written and the sensational narrator just brought all the characters to life and I found myself immersed in the story not wanting it to stop. Polly Edsell, the amazing narrator, not only made me experience a cocktail of emotions during her reading but I actually had a lump in my throat on more than one occasion and ultimately shed real tears of sadness as well as tears of joy and laughter. It all felt so real. 5 stars throughout!

Smooth, easy listening
Lovely story. Not overly trying. Good listen for holiday. Loved the Spanish elements - could really picture the scenery throughout.

Entertaining
Got me at the beginning, lost me at the middle, but recovered nicely at the end.
(Main character made me really angry more than once)

Beautifully written, beautifully read
A wonderful book which has kept me company on many hours of dog walking, and left me bereft now it’s over. Now one of my all time favourite, poignant audible purchases

Moving
I actually bought this based on the reviews.
I started it twice because the first time I didn't particularly warm to it.
I'm so pleased I did hear it all.
It was beautifully written and read.
I was deeply moved at times and felt in tune with Eva.
Do believe the reviews. This book is heart warming, sad and frustrating but beautiful.

I loved it
Such a great listen, I really loved it. Written in the first person and such a sensitive piece, really brought back memories of childhood friendships and was very moving
