To Dare: (A Sainsbury’s Magazine Book Club pick)

Veronica and her wealthy husband George are unpacking boxes, hoping a fresh start in their newly refurbished Victorian terrace will help them heal from a recent trauma. Next door, Simone returns to her neglected council flat. Miserable and trapped, she struggles to take care of her children under the watch of her controlling husband Terry. When childhood friend Sarah re-enters Veronica’s life, things are thrown even further off balance. As tensions in their own lives rise, the painful memory that binds them threatens to spill into their present. Three lives collide in this story of family, inequality, and revenge.

‘A five star novel by one of our best writers. I was gripped.’ - Louis de Bernieres, author, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
