Pandora’s Box
Giselle Green
Enduring lies. Impossible choices. A secret that will test an entire family …
According to legend, when Pandora’s box is opened it unleashes dark secrets and terrible consequences …
Rachel Wetherby’s life has been on hold since the diagnosis of her daughter Shelley with a debilitating – and fatal – illness.
So when Rachel’s mother offloads a box of her old possessions, including a diary, Rachel feels compelled to escape into a past which – on the surface – was carefree. But opening up the box unearths secrets and memories best left uncovered.
Shelley, meanwhile, is juggling a secret romance with planning her own death. Convincing Rachel that she’d like to spend her 15th birthday in Cornwall where she spent so many idyllic childhood summers, she devises a dignified exit.
But nothing is as it seems and heartache and surprises lie in store for both mother and daughter …
Highly charged and morally complex, this mesmerising story told from alternate perspectives will captivate fans of Jodi Picoult and The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.
‘This novel is a heartwarming, emotional take on a mother/ daughter relationship. I couldn’t put it down.’ Closer
