Bloomsbury presents The Girl I Used To Know by Faith Hogan, read by Flora Montgomery.

'Another heart-warming read from Faith Hogan' Trisha Ashley.

'Heart-warming, poignant and uplifting' Lucy Coleman, author of Snowflakes Over Holly Cove.

***

Two women. Two very different lives. One unexpected friendship.

Amanda King and Tess Cuffe are strangers who share the same Georgian house, but their lives couldn't be more different.

Amanda seems to have the perfect life. But the reality is a soulless home, an unfaithful husband and a very lonely heart.

While Tess has spent a lifetime hiding and shutting her heart to love.

But if they can open up to one another, these two women may just learn that sometimes letting go is the first step to moving forward and new friendships can come from the most unlikely situations.

Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Marian Keyes, Rowan Coleman and Veronica Henry.
