The Book Club book

When she was a child, all Melody Browne's possessions and memories were lost when her house burned down. Melody has had no memory of her life before she was rescued from the fire.   Now aged 33 she is a single mother, living in London.  But when she faints while attending a hypnotist show the memories of her her old life are slowly reawakened. 

Slowly, she starts putting together the real story of her childhood - in the countryside, in London, at the seaside. Yet, the more she discovers, the more questions remain.

"a touching, insightful, and gripping story" (Sophie Kinsella, New York Times bestselling author)
