What would you do if you found a letter addressed to you with instructions that the letter is to be opened only in the event of your husbands death? This is what cecilia is faced with when she discovers an old envelope in the attic. This letter contains her husband deepest darkest secret and if opened it will not only destroy her perfect marriage but also the lives of others.
The story is not just cecilia's, it also intertwined two other women: Rachel and Tess.
Rachel has been haunted with a nightmare for over twenty years, ever since her daughter was murdered. Her son has just told her that he is moving to New York. Distraught by the news rachel becomes obsessed with Connor, a man she believes is responsible for her daughter's murder.
Tess has just discovered that her husband is in love with someone else. That someone else is her cousin. Feeling betrayed and angry, Tess takes her son and books a flight in the middle of night to go and stay with her mother in Sidney.
Tess and Rachel barely know Cecilia but they are about to find out the repercussions of her husband.
The story is addictive, cleverly plotted and thought provoking. I loved the way the Liane Moriarty intertwined three lives connected to a catholic elementary school in Sidney. I must say I struggled to keep up with the characters during the first chapter but as the story goes on its soon becomes more interesting and captivating.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend to others. I don't think a book has ever made me gasp out loud. Like full on mouth open. This book will make you cry, laugh and think about things.
