This Much is True

Product Description

The one thing keeping her family together is the lie that could tear them apart...

After decades in a deeply unhappy marriage, Annie Doyle can barely bring herself to care that her husband Vince is finally about to die.

But as the family gathers to see out his final days, Vince utters a single word that will change everyone's lives forever:

'Martha.'

Who is Martha? And why is Annie so quick to dismiss the mention of her name?

As Annie's long-held secrets start to emerge, the lives of everyone she holds dear - her sons, her friends, even her loyal dog Finn - will be changed forever.

The emotional, gripping story of a shocking secret at the centre of a family, and a mother desperate to keep it hidden - perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse and Jodi Picoult.
