"From that day on, the Summerbourne family hasn't been allowed to keep it's twins."
Seraphine and Danny are twins, born just hours before their mother Ruth ended her life. Years later, Seraphine finds a family photo from that day of Ruth holding only one baby.
Questions are raised as to the events of that day and the role of the family's au pair, Laura, who fled after Ruth's death.
Who was actually born on July 21, 1992? Who is in the photo and who isn't?
Secrets held by and for the family are slowly revealed throughout this domestic suspense, told in alternating chapters and timelines from Seraphine and Laura.
The Au Pair took me a bit to get into, a little slow to start. But once the reveals and additional questions started coming, I flew through it.
Recommended!
