Can Henrietta find out what happened to Annie's sister--before it's too late?Haunted by the past, Henrietta throws herself into a new job transcribing other people's life stories, vowing to stick to the facts and keep emotions at arm's length. But when she meets the eccentric and terminally ill Annie, she finds herself inextricably drawn in. And when Annie reveals that her sister drowned in unexplained circumstances in 1974, Henrietta's methodical mind can't help following the story's loose ends...Unlike Henrietta, Annie is brimming with confidence--but even she has limits when it comes to opening up. Ever since that terrible night when her sister left a pile of clothes beside the canal and vanished, Annie has been afraid to look too closely into the murky depths of her memories. When her attempts to glide over the past come up against Henrietta's determination to fill in the gaps, both women find themselves confronting truths they'd thought were buried forever--especially when Henrietta's digging unearths a surprising emotional connection between them.Could unlocking Annie's story help Henrietta rewrite the most devastating passages in her own life? And, in return, can she offer Annie a final twist in the tale, before it's too late?

We meet Annie in the last weeks of her life. She hasn't had it easy, losing her sister in her twenties, spending decades in an abusive marriage, then the diagnosis with a expiry date.
When we meet Henrietta, she's started a new job with the Life Stories Project. She has a handbook which will guide her through the process of writing the memoirs of those facing their last weeks.
This is a slow paced mystery which is strangely compelling

Many thoughts - really didn‘t care for the main character Henrietta who felt like a bit of an elinor oliphant type and was in many ways super frustrating… esp her dog ownership! but did enjoy the main plot. A terminally I‘ll older lady sits to write her life story with Henrietta who pulls to undercover lost family secrets

Well that‘s 2 hours of my life I‘m never getting back , so far it wins the award of being the worst book Iv read this year , its like a repeat of a thousand others which are better written I became so bored 😑 I had to skim read the ending ready for my village bookclub on Wednesday evening . I‘m very surprised it was a between the covers pick , apologies to the author it‘s not easy writing a novel it just wasn‘t for me .
