    About this audiobook

    Two sisters must learn to make peace with the past—and each other.

    In the wake of the 2005 London bombings, Sara returns to her childhood home in Oxfordshire to find that her sister, Polly, has finally come back after being missing for over ten years. Why now—and where has she been?

    As girls, the two sisters could not have been more different—only perfect Polly could meet the exacting standards of their nanny, Bridie, while Sara lived in her shadow. But Sara had been heartbroken the day she learned that Polly had run away, leaving her behind.

    For Bridie, the news that Polly has returned threatens to revive a family secret she’d long kept hidden. Bridie cares deeply for both girls, and had done her best to raise them as if they were her own, but her own past always remained off-limits, to them as well as to herself. Now, all that may change.

    As Polly’s return sets in motion events that will stretch the three women’s fragile bond to its breaking point, all three must confront the weight of this hidden history. Playing out across three generations, Another Day Gone reveals the enduring consequences of violence—and the restorative powers of love and loyalty.

    Eliza Graham

    Eliza Graham spent science lessons reading Jean Plaidy novels behind the textbooks, sitting at the back of the classroom. In English and history lessons, however, she sat right at the front, hanging on to every word. In the school holidays she visited the public library multiple times a day. At Oxford University she read English literature on a course that regarded anything post-1930 as too modern to be included. She retains a love of Victorian novels. Eliza lives in an ancient village in the Oxfordshire countryside with her family. Her interests (still) mainly revolve around reading, but she also enjoys walking in the downland country around her home.

      3.5 1939, Coventry, an IRA terrorist bomb explodes, many are killed, maimed. A young witness identifies the man she saw with the bicycle the bomb was attached too, a young Irish man with a wife, and although she hasn't told him yet she is expecting their first child. This young man and two others are convicted and hanged. It is the death of this young man that will have consequences that reverberate down throughout the next sixty years. This book explores how a single act can have an effect for so many, by centering on one family, a family that will eventually include his unborn daughter.Right away I connected with the character, Bridget, Bridie they call her. The sins of the fathers, that phrase came to identify so much of her life, living under the shadow of her fathers act. The two sisters, Polly and Sara, reminded me so much of myself and younger sister as young girls. Two opposing forces connected by the deep sister bond many of us are lucky to have. But, there are secrets in this family, deep ones, that are slowly revealed as is Bridie's own, rather sad story. The IRA, WWII, families, what it takes to stay connected, secrets and forgiveness, are all part of this interesting family story. A lighter read, but a well thought out one.ARC from Netgalley.
