The deeper the water, the darker the secrets
There were so many times I thought about telling you the truth, Eva. What stopped me was always the same thing
When Evas husband Jackson tragically drowns, she longs to meet his estranged family. The journey takes her to Jacksons brothers doorstep on a remote Tasmanian island. As strange details about her husbands past begin to emerge, memories of the man she married start slipping through her fingers like sand, as everything she ever knew and loved about him is thrown into question. Now shes no longer sure whether it was Jackson she fell in love with or someone else entirely
The truth is, it was all a lie . . .
