About this listen
From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of two families, two babies and one maddeningly hot day that will change their lives forever.
It’s the hottest day of the 1976 heatwave and there’s not a breath of fresh air in the labour ward at Lincoln County Hospital. Michelle is having her fourth child, a girl, while beloved husband Dean is sipping a cold pint in the pub. Their little house is already bursting at the seams, but Michelle is sure they’ll find a way to stretch their budget and continue life as a blissfully chaotic happy family. They name their new baby Donna.
In the next bed, exhausted and wearing a perfectly impractical lace-trimmed white nightgown, Sylvie has just given birth to her first child at forty and wants to sleep, while her oblivious husband Jeremy hovers and suggests he sketch this ‘perfect moment’. The midwife thinks she’ll feel more like bonding with her baby when she’s had some rest, but Sylvie isn’t so sure. She and Jeremy call their daughter Leonora.
When the two little girls are taken to their respective homes, the date of their birth seems to be the only thing to connect them. But one day, years in the future, their paths will cross again when Michelle comes looking for Sylvie—because something happened that blistering hot day, something they both deserve answers to…

The story of the book
Interesting twists & turns and a good story. Enjoyed understanding the characters too. Good book overall. Maddening situation and lovely how they all came together in the end.

A very accurate memory of the 1980’s
An amazingly creditable rendition of the period. I gave birth to my son in 75 and was pregnant with my daughter though 76 giving birth in 77. It was entirely possible. I knew my baby’s cry the second time I gave birth and would have known something was off if the baby was switched. Good premise for the plot.

Interesting topic on what could happen. I did find the voice a bit loud in parts as always shouting but I'm sure alot of people will enjoy the storyline

Great characters.great story and great narrator.
The characters came alive for me. I could imagine each one and the lives they led and the problems they had. I love that in a book . The story was a interesting one as we know this can happen but we also know these thoughts and others like them face new mums all the times and can stay with us. I really appreciated the way the ending was managed. I recommend this book as as a really good read.

Didn't stop until I'd finished - brilliant.
I really loved this book, so we'll read and the story is so good. Light heartedly written with a serious subject. The feelings of the characters portrayed are so clear and you really feel like you are travelling this journey with them. I loved the ending too, satisfying and happy!

Yet again another winner
A new author to me, but definitely one that compels me to read her books again. What I thought might be a tired old plot line but actually a really beautiful story.
