The Things You'll Never Know: A Novel

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The Push, a bold, unputdownable story of motherhood, desire, betrayal, and loss told by a mother after her own death. Fiona stares up at the faces of her husband, Adam, and their children. The double doors on the ambulance slam, but Fiona's not in there. She's still here, in her home. Trying to comfort the children, but nobody can hear her. That's when she realizes: her worst fear has come true, and she's had to leave them all behind. She can only look on in horror as they crowd around her lifeless body, unable to see her ghost. In the hours, days, and weeks that follow, Fiona is forced to watch her family put their lives back together without her as they learn the truth about how she died - and the huge secret betrayal she was hiding when she left them. Exploring the performative identities of womanhood, the complexities of a marriage and motherhood broken by death, and whether we can ever make peace with our finite time on earth, Ashley Audrain's bold, thought-provoking novel asks: do you have enough time left to learn who you really are?"-- Provided by publisher.
