Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The eagerly awaited, life-affirming and moving new novel from number-one bestselling author Dawn French.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . . midnight.

The old millennium turns into the new.
In the same hospital, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.
Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl.
Anna leaves with empty arms.
Seventeen years later, the gods who keep watch over broken-hearted mothers wreak mighty revenge, and the truth starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.
The power of mother-love will be tested to its limits.
Perhaps beyond . . .

Because Of You is Dawn French's stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.

Reviews

I absolutely loved Because of You. Fantastic, passionate, compassionate, so much wisdom, a lot of humour, very real and credible Gorgeous . . . wise and sad and full of love An extraordinary book - sad, heartening, gripping and reassuringly human Incredible Dawn tackles the big ones - love, death, grief, childhood, motherhood, parenthood - head on Harrowing but uplifting . . . It is a book about mistakes, regret, forgiveness and unconditional love Fans who have waited five long years for French's fourth novel won't be disappointed: Because Of You is a book with a beating heart, a story told with warmth and verve Moving . . . French's best yet The final scenes are so perfectly executed they almost broke my heart. Because of You is a story to cherish Told with French's unfailing wit and warmth, Because Of You is the tale of family bonds and the mother-daughter relationships that ultimately make us who we are Expand reviews
