When DS Nina Calloway is called to Regent's Park on an October morning, she expects a straightforward death. What she finds instead is the hidden architecture of four London lives - and at the centre of all of them, a woman who has been managing the truth for twenty years. Claire Ashworth has held everything together: the career, the children, the marriage, the silence. Alex Rowe has spent ten years loving her from the wrong side of a door she will not open. And somewhere in Shepherd's Bush, in a letting agency named after a wound, a woman has been waiting to collect a debt that is nineteen years overdue. Told across multiple perspectives and two decades, Between Two Lives is a novel about the loves we don't allow ourselves, the damage of the unsaid, and the specific cost of carrying something you were never meant to carry alone. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty, and Maggie O'Farrell. The Hollow Vows Series continues in The Names We Kept, coming soon.
