Seventeen-year-old Georgia has a secret – one that is isolating her from everyone she loves. She is desperate to tell her best friend, but Sophia is ignoring her, and she doesn’t know why. And before she can find out, Sophia is left fighting for her life after a hit and run, with Georgia a traumatised witness.

As a school psychologist, Georgia’s mother Anya should be used to dealing with scared adolescents. However, it’s very different when the girl who needs help is your own child. Meanwhile, Georgia’s father is wracked with a guilt he can’t share; and when Zac, Georgia’s younger brother, stumbles on an unlikely truth, the family relationships really begin to unravel.

Georgia’s secret is about to go viral. And yet, it will be the stranger heading for the family home who will leave her running through the countryside into terrible danger. Can the Turner family rise above the lies they have told to betray or protect one another, in order to fight for what matters most of all?

Set against the stark, rugged beauty of England’s Lake District, All That is Lost Between Us is a timeless thriller with a modern twist.

WHAT AUSROM TODAY THOUGHT:

Told from alternating view points, All That Is Lost Between Us, tells the story of drifting apart—from a marital relationship to the mother-daughter connection that often frays during the teen years. It details, perhaps a little too finely at times, the fractures that occur inside families and just how deeply and acutely that disconnect is felt by all involved.

Foster presents both the mother and teenage daughter point of views with ease and that certainly allows you to immerse yourself in the character.

The story is underpinned by an event that turns into the novel into a chilling psychological thriller and from there the suspense and tension builds quickly.

A story of secrets, tension and ultimately redemption and reconnection. Forget what you had planned—once you start, you won’t want to put this book down until you get to the very end.
