Synopsis
Gillian Butler moved away from Edinburgh 50 years ago, or so her friends thought. When her murdered body is found, they must try to remember who last saw her alive. Perhaps it was Isabel, now a novelist and people-tracer, or the twice widowed Hannah, or the psychiatrist, Dr Fidelis Berlin, an expert on child abuse, abandonment, abduction and adoption, who had herself been an unidentified infant rescued from Nazi Germany and now hopes to discover her real name at last. Fidelis Berlin and other characters from Mann's earlier books reappear in this tense, gripping tale of vengeance, family ties and the mystery of identity.
"This is a complex and chilling story, with many shifts of perspective and timeframe. The quality of the writing shines out. The question of changing identity is crucial — not just of individuals but of women in British society over the last half-century. Beneath it all is an elegiac note of regret, a sense of wrong choices with long consequences." — Andrew Taylor, The Spectator.

Review
"As ever with this author, the intelligent (and complex) texture of the novel matches its sheer storytelling nous." - Barry Forshaw, crimetime.co.uk "Engaging, enthralling and hugely entertaining." - Western Morning News "There is a very striking climax, but this is also a novel of ideas, about feminism, family and literature - As you would expect with Jessica Mann, it's a very well-written as well as a poignant book, and I'm delighted to have read it." - Martin Edwards, Do You Write Under Your Own Name?
