This was a real roller-coaster of a ride with lots of twists and turns. For a while I thought I had them all worked out, but finally I had to admit that I had no idea how the author was going to end the book. A gripping read. ( )

The story I read is very different from the other reviews making me realise that they are two different books. The book juxtaposes life stories between two generations, grandmother and granddaughter.
Kath is the grand daughter of Kathleen who has recently died. Kath is very close to her grandmother and keen to uncover her grandmother's mysterious past. But what starts out as an innocent investigation into her family's history becomes a matter of life and death for Kath.
Kath has been diagnosed with leukemia and must find a tissue donor; unfortunately close family members are not compatible. Kath's grandmother starts to come to Kath in her dreams and through these dreams Kath finds out about her gran's harsh upbringing as an orphan in Barnado's Homes as well as missing family members that may be able to save Kath's life. I leave the rest for you to surmise; yes they all live happily ever after.... ( )

An interesting and compelling mystery, juxtaposing several parallel stories of lost or stolen children. The resolution is both surprising and heartbreaking. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ( )

Wow!

This is an absolutely gripping thriller, which I found hard to put down. The various parts of the story are gradually unwrapped, until they all come together.. but probably not in the way you expect.

There is an interesting mix of characters in this book, all with their own story to tell, and all lifelike and believable.. I found myself involved with each and every one, concerned for their outcome.

The strands of the story are told from the viewpoint of these characters, combining present and past, culminating in a satisfying finale.

A fast-paced thriller, that will stay with you after you finish.
