About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the number one bestselling author of Our Little Cruelties and Skin Deep.

Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died.

Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and worried police, but also a sinister voice from a past she has no memory of. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, recluse Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, finding independence, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.

But when messages start arriving from a stranger who knows far more about her past than she knows herself, Sally's life will be thrown into chaos once again...

Amazing, clever and difficult to put down

Having been an audible member for a good many years this has to be one of the most notable Audible titles. Clever, witty, memorable and yet deeply disquieting at times. Superb narration too.

Exceptional yet creepy

Had I known that was a psychological thriller I would have never given this book a try, so I’m quite happy I was ignorant of this!
The plot is dark and disturbing but the storytelling allures you into wanting to finish it.
Once you’ve finished reading this book you will hate human kind a little bit more but will have a better understanding of how twisted and unbalanced human nature can be.

The book would benefit from a trigger warning for its disturbing and unsettling subject !

Book should come with warning

It is an excellent book as the story is well written and you care for, or despise, some of the characters. However, there should be a note in the summary that explains the story relates to topics that some may find difficult to read (abduction of a child, rape).

I started the book thinking it was about a quirky character and when I realised what the story was about it was too late to stop listening as I felt compelled to continue to find out what happened.

very odd but interesting

I can honestly say I've never listened to a book like this. The readers were great but the story has so many holes in it that you have to suspend all beliefs to swallow it .I've lived in a small village and you can barely pass wind without half the village knowing about it and trying to keep a secret makes everyone interested to find all out about it. But it was very enjoyable and the end was annoying enough to make it memorable.

We've all met a Sally Diamond, sadly.

You'll need to dig deep to read this fabulous novel, as it's not an easy read. Nugent delves into nature; viruses nurture as you search your soul to understand the lengths people will go to in this damaged world. A good book which will leave you wondering how cruel people can be.

Best Yet

I found Liz Nugent recently and have read all her books so far . Sally Diamond is a brilliant intriguing character and story that unravels and draws you in. Harrowing at times, a book that stays with you long after you have finished it .. Thoroughly recommended …
