'An enthralling, layered triumph' SUNDAY TIMES, Thriller of the Month 'A richly enjoyable thriller' THE TIMES, Thriller of the Year 'An elegant, provocative, twisting thrillerâ€¦ hugely entertaining and beautifully written' CHRIS WHITAKER 'So brilliant I stayed up into the early hours to finish it' PRIMA, Book of the Month Your mother is not who you think she isâ€¦ When the phone rings in Judy McVeeâ€™s Languedoc farmhouse, she knows her past has finally caught up with her. Itâ€™s her daughter, frantically asking why there are journalists on her London doorstep making terrible accusations. Decades earlier, Judy was a girl with big plans â€“ to ensnare a rich husband, to make something of herself, to rise above her upbringing and leave behind past tragedies. Wealthy young widower Rory Harrington seemed the perfect target â€“ but Judy hadnâ€™t reckoned on actually falling in love with him. Now her daughter Francesca, who has secrets of her own, must come to terms with the realisation that the mother she thought she knew wasnâ€™t real. Where has Judy gone â€“ and was anything she told her family true? Moving from Cape Cod to London, New York to the South of France, THE END OF SUMMER is a gripping, nuanced literary thriller from a writer at the top of her game.
