Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . . midnight.
As the old millennium turns into the new, 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 truth of that night starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.
A reckoning is coming. Lives will collide.
And mother-love will be tested . . .
Because Of You is Dawn French's stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.

Warm, witty and wise . . . I raced through
A powerful and emotional book
A bright, brilliant and heartbreaking tale of two mothers, two babies and the far-reaching consequences of one fateful day

Hilarious and brilliant
I adored According to YES. It's so different to anything I've read in forever, so charming, wise, brilliantly written. I loved it all
Witty and wise, it'll have you burning the midnight oil. A cracker
Very funny and packs an emotional clout. Brilliant!
An enlightening and feel-good read offering a fresh look at life and how to embrace it. Funny and enjoyable to the end
There is lots of fun to be had reading this book. It's impossible not to warm to Rosie, a funny and open-hearted woman who acts as a salve and comfort blanket for this unhappy, inhibited family. There's something quite joyous about the way she unashamedly romps her way through the novel, changing the lives of those around her for the better
Another hilarious novel!
French can spin a yarn . . . which sets According to YES apart. Think the vicar of Dibley, without the dog collar. YES YES YES indeed
Wise and poignant
Heart-warming
