13 Augustus 2017. Ansja vat haar twee dogtertjies kerk toe. Heeldag het sy ʼn naar gevoel op die krop van haar maag, asof iemand haar wind uitgeskop het. Sy hou by ʼn stopstraat naby hul huis stil en ʼn motor jaag van agter in hulle vas. Haar jongste dogtertjie, Larissa, se kop word met die impak vergruis soos ʼn waatlemoen.
Met bomenslike krag sleep sy haar dogters uit die kar en sit hulle op die sypaadjie neer. Dan verloor sy haar bewussyn en sien haarself en haar kinders van bo. Alles word lig. Daar is lieflike musiek en reënboogkleure. Vrede en liefde heers en niks maak meer saak nie. Sy dryf weg.
Maar dan hoor sy haar oudste dogtertjie na haar roep. En sy moet terug. Na die pyn van ʼn gebreekte lyf en gebroke hart. Hoe hervat sy haar lewe?
When we bury our secrets, they always come back to haunt us...Their
rise was meteoric. Only a few years before, they had been three
friends from Glasgow, just trying to survive tough lives of danger
and dysfunction. But on one Hollywood evening in 1993, they were on
the world's biggest stage, accepting their Oscar in front of the
watching world. That night was the beginning of their careers. But
it was also the end of their friendship. Over the next twenty
years, Mirren McLean would become one of the most powerful writers
in the movie industry. Zander Leith would break box-office records
as cinema's most in-demand action hero. And Davie Johnson would
rake in millions as producer of some of the biggest shows on TV.
For two decades they didn't speak, driven apart by a horrific
secret. Until now... Their past is coming back to bite them, and
they have to decide whether to run, hide, or fight. Because when
you rise to the top, there's always someone who wants to see you
fall. An exciting new glam thriller for the fans of Taylor Jenkins
Reid, Liane Moriarty and Jo Spain Previously published in the UK as
