The debut novel from Sara Foster, author of The Hush, You Don't Know Me, and Beneath the Shadows
Do you have to keep a promise made in the past, if it means losing all that you have now?
A London restaurant. An ordinary night out. But when ambitious lawyer Mark introduces his date to a work colleague, Chloe, and her husband, Alex, it's obvious something is very wrong. Alex and Julia pretend not to know each other, but the shocked expressions on their faces tell a different story.
As the mystery of Julia's identity unravels, a terrible, decade-old tragedy comes to light. While Chloe struggles with secrets of her own, Alex must decide whether to take Julia back to Australia to lay the past to rest. And Julia will finally confront Alex with the whole truth of what happened all those years ago.
Come Back to Me is a taut psychological drama that will keep you enthralled until the very last page.
