Fear of Falling
Autor Cath Staincliffeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2018
What if your child ends up hurting those you love?
Lydia and Bel have been best friends for years, from wild teenage days all the way through to motherhood. Bel becomes pregnant by accident and has a fraught relationship with daughter Freya, while Lydia and love-of-her-life Mac, after failed fertility treatment, choose to adopt. Gorgeous toddler Chloe challenges them more than either of them had ever expected and as a teenager her behaviour escalates increasingly out of control, pushing their marriage, and Lydia and Bel's relationship, to breaking point.
A harrowing and heart-breaking story of the splinters that can tear mothers and daughters, husbands and wives - and friends - apart.

Gripping
This powerful, often harrowing story will move you to tears
Totally compelling . . . sincere and powerful
Praise for Cath Staincliffe:
Harrowing and humane. A real knockout
It's always exciting to see a writer get better and better and Cath Staincliffe is doing just that
Powerful, complex and utterly gripping
An intelligent and emotionally engaging moral workout
Cath Staincliffe gets into the heads of ordinary people and makes them extraordinary
Complex and satisfying
For her insistence on looking real life squarely in the face I would call Staincliffe the most grown-up writer in British crime fiction ... her novel is mercilessly exciting too
A sensitive and humane writer whose talent for characterisation ... is the fuel for real suspense
A powerful, complex, gripping, perfectly paced book that packs a punch
Emotionally unsparing, this expertly written police procedural is also an outstanding thriller, hard to put aside even for the sake of sleep
Her finest novel yet, emotionally unsparing, powerful, humane and moving . . . This is a timely, brave and brilliant book
A moment's madness, a lifetime of regret.
Lydia and Bel have been best friends for years, from wild teenage days all the way through to motherhood. Bel becomes pregnant by accident and has a fraught relationship with daughter Freya, while Lydia and love-of-her-life Mac, after failed fertility treatment, choose to adopt. Gorgeous toddler Chloe challenges them more than either of them had ever expected and as a teenager her behaviour escalates increasingly out of control, pushing their marriage, and Lydia and Bel's relationship, to breaking point.
A modern tragedy.
A harrowing and heart-breaking story of the splinters that can tear mothers and daughters, husbands and wives - and friends - apart.
