About this listen
This is a mini-sequel to The Other Son, a little gift for all those listeners who have been begging to know what happens next. Alice has been lying to herself for years, holding fast to the belief that the needs of her family far outweigh her own. But her outwardly successful marriage hides dark secrets, and for much of her life, the children were the only reason she stuck around.
These days, though her successful banker son lives nearby, his young wife seems to do everything she can to keep Alice at bay. As for Alice's other son, he has always been something of a stranger and has been traveling for so long that Alice isn't even sure what continent he is on anymore. Alice can’t help but wonder if the effort she expends presenting a united front to the outside world is actually helping anyone and what would happen if she suddenly stopped pretending.
Could life, like the novels she devours, hold surprises in its closing chapters? And if she did shake everything up by admitting the truth about her marriage, would anyone be on her side? Has the time finally come for Alice to put her own needs first? For the first time in years, her heart is racing. Can Alice really change her life? Dare she even imagine such a thing?

Good little sequal!
Have you listened to any of Imogen Church’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Excellent performance.
Any additional comments?
This is a pleasent little sequal to the orginal book The Other Son. It's very sort and not to be read/listened to as a stand alone.

A Fitting End
This mini Christmas Bonus book just finishes off the previous book ‘The Other Son’ perfectly. I won’t go into detail but I recommend that you read or listen to the books in order.
Very enjoyable and lovely to see a different side to Alice who comes face to face with a huge blast from the past

Lovely ending
So glad to find this in my ‘included’ as I had just finished The Other Son and this is the sequel so tied up the loose ends ☺️

Fabulous
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have not listened to any of Nick Alexanders books before but will be waiting until credit day and getting 'The Other Son'. Excellent short story and I really enjoy Imogen Church as a narrator.

Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful story of lost love due to convention. I loved this audio book. My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough.

Enjoyable Christmas Bonus
This is a short, 'free' Christmas bonus. It is only really suitable if you have heard the original story, but it was a great addition to the story.

Awful in every way possible!
Ok it was free but what exactly was the point of it?
The ages of the characters and timelines were all over the place. The story was boring and predictable and often toe-curlingly cringy! And the narrator sounded like an 18 year old.
Really sloppy!
