One summer, one terrible secret, a past that burns bright and a present filled with shame. A dark and twisting new novel from Araminta Hall, bestselling author of One of the Good Guys.
Araminta's books always promise to be thrilling escapes with the most satisfying and unexpected twists, and Unreliable Narrator proves to be no different - Elisabeth Moss
When Hope finds her real life in the pages of a bestselling novel, truth and fiction become blurred.
As a young woman, Hope's dreams are as aspirational as her name. Curious and beautiful, she lands a job working for an up-and-coming author at his Somerset home. Drawn into the orbit of a glamorous bohemian elite, she quickly falls under the spell of this exotic world, which revolves around Ambrose Glencourt, his artist wife and their semi-adopted son, Tom.
But her time with them ends in a fatal disaster. She has kept the truth of those events a secret ever since.
Ten years on, Hope lives a lonely life that she has accepted not just as penance for what she did, but also to protect Ambrose. Except he hasn't upheld his side of the bargain and is using her story in his new novel. And he has a very different tale to tell about what happened that summer...
But which one of them is a reliable narrator? And at what cost do you take control of the narrative of your own life?
