Synopsis

From the acclaimed author of The Fifth Letter and Those Other Women comes this touching story of secrets, friendship, family, and forgiveness—and the serendipitous twists of fate that shape our lives.

Accept a letter...

Hannah has been running—literally and figuratively—from her life back in Australia. Whenever she’s not working, she’s pounding London’s streets, putting the past behind her. Then she meets a fellow Australian named India, and Hannah’s entranced. For India is confident, exotic, and charming—qualities that Hannah feels she’s desperately lacking.

Pass it on...

India has a secret, too – one beyond any remedy. For it’s a secret that is currently sealed in a love letter and is making its journey across Europe in the most unconventional way—through the hands of strangers as they pass on the street.

And who knows where it will lead...

Before the letter with India’s deepest, darkest secret reaches its destination, can the women find the connection that will take each of them exactly where they need to go....

Review:

“The lives of two women intersect in Moriarty’s heart-tugging story (following Those Other Women) of confronting questionable choices...Dynamic prose makes the pages turn and then subsequently fly by when twists arise. Moriarty’s novel is both fast-paced and immersive.” (Publishers Weekly)

Praise for Those Other Women: “A firecracker of a novel...” (Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

“I devoured it, loved it, and totally escaped into it.... Fun and topical.” (Marian Keyes, internationally bestselling author)

Praise for The Fifth Letter: “Lifelong friendships, secrets, and pages I couldn’t turn fast enough. The Fifth Letter is one of my favorite books this year, and Nicola Moriarty is now on my short list of favorite women’s fiction authors.” (Susan Elizabeth Phillips, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

“A delightful, heartwarming exploration of the twists and turns of true friendship, The Fifth Letter was simply delicious from the very first page to the last. [...] relatable characters, a fast-moving plot and just the right amount of mystery. I was hooked!” (Rachael Johns, internationally bestselling author)

“The meandering stories of these women are held together with the powerful question of who wrote the last letter, which reveals just how precarious childhood friendships are [...] the book [...] adeptly exposes the striking differences among the four friends and the five letters.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Readers...will race to the end as a credit to Nicola’s fine sense of pacing and suspense. An author to watch.” (Booklist)
