One Step Too Far

En savoir plus sur le livre

On a train departing from Manchester, a woman sits among sleepy commuters, wiping away tears and trying to remain unnoticed. Emily has a happy marriage, a child, and a beautiful home. Yet, she has just abandoned it all, relying on a train ticket and a new name. Hours earlier, she had dressed quietly and left the bedroom without a glance at her husband, certain that if he woke, he would stop her from leaving. Her departure was surprisingly easy; all it took was some money and a few essentials in her bag, while she pushed aside thoughts of those she was leaving behind. Emily is determined to seek a new beginning, to build a life entirely opposite to the respectable one she has led until now. However, a shadow looms: the memory of her twin sister, Caroline, who has always hated her and seemingly tried to ruin her life at every turn. What secret binds the two sisters, and what event from their past casts a dark shadow over Emily's escape? Is it truly so simple to disappear and start anew?
