An estranged daughter. A missing grandson. A mother faced with an
impossible choice. Renee Gulliver appears to have it all: a
beautiful house overlooking a scenic estuary on England's East
Coast, a successful career as a relationship therapist, three
grown-up children, and a beloved grandson, Xavier. But then Xavier
vanishes after Renee fails to pick him up from school, and the
repercussions are manifold. Renee is wracked with remorse; the
local community question her priorities, clients abandon her; and,
as long-held grievances surface, her daughter Mia offers her a
heartbreaking ultimatum. Amid recriminations, misunderstandings and
lies, can Renee find a way to reunite her family? For fans of Jodi
Picoult and If Only I Could Tell You by Hannah Beckerman, Penny
Hancock's The Choice is an engrossing, thought-provoking novel
about family secrets and the way that even the smallest decisions
can sometimes have far-reaching consequences.
For fans of He Said/She Said and Anatomy of a Scandal, Penny
Hancock's I Thought I Knew You is about secrets and lies - and
whose side you take when it really matters. Who do you know better?
Your oldest friend? Or your child? And who should you believe when
one accuses the other of an abhorrent crime? Jules and Holly have
been best friends since university. They tell each other
everything, trading revelations and confessions, and sharing both
the big moments and the small details of their lives: Holly is the
only person who knows about Jules's affair; Jules was there for
Holly when her husband died. And their two children - just three
years apart - have grown up together. So when Jules's daughter
Saffie makes a serious allegation against Holly's son Saul, neither
woman is prepared for the devastating impact this will have on
their friendship or their families. Especially as Holly, in spite
of her principles, refuses to believe her son is guilty.
