'An emotionally charged and thought-provoking read that any parent will relate to' Woman's Weekly
When two strangers, Tess and Annie, undergo IVF at an American clinic, their embryos are mixed up and each woman gives birth to the wrong child.
The women only discover the devastating error three years later. Tess wants to swap the children back; Annie doesn't. As the pair wrangle, neither of them expect what unfolds.

Gripping
I read the book in one weekend and emerged wanting to hug my loved ones a little bit tighter. A compelling, thought-provoking, emotional thriller of a book

A wonderfully written, thought provoking and moving read. I raced through the pages, desperate to know the outcome. Such a clever, original idea. I loved it.
Oh how it was worth the wait! Fiona has crafted an emotive and credible read . . . Harrowing in parts, but uplifting in others, Fiona keeps the pace constant . . . deeply moving and beautifully written.
The hook on the cover - Two Women. Two Children. But Whose is Whose? - would grab anyone, but it's the gorgeous writing, the stunning attention to detail, and the searingly difficult themes explored that kept me. I read this in just two days.

Just finished the brilliant THE SWAP by Fiona Mitchell and my heart aches. It explores the gut-wrenching dilemma of two women following an IVF mix-up. A gripping tale written with great sensitivity and humour, even in its darkest moments. Book club gold.
He's the kind of child you want to give back.
Tess has long wondered if Freddie, her difficult youngest son, isn't hers. Ginger, pale and freckly, he looks nothing like the rest of the family, and even her own children notice the cold way she treats their naughty sibling.
But Tess never expected that she might actually be right. Until a twist of fate reveals the terrible truth: during her IVF treatment, Tess's embryo was mistakenly swapped with a stranger's. For the past two years Tess and Annie, the other woman, have been unknowingly raising each other's children.
When Tess meets Willow, the daughter she so desperately craved, she becomes determined to reclaim the child as her own - demanding she and Annie swap their children back, regardless of the emotional cost. But Annie refuses to contemplate letting go of the beloved little girl she brought into the world.
As the two wrangle, an unanswerable question is posed.
