About this audiobook
'June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday . . .'
And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.
For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’m so glad I decided to finish this novel. I was a bit bothered in the middle of it (too many characters to follow) but I kept going. It’s sweet, surprising and touching. Just loved it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5TW: rape, suicide
Well written book with an interesting concept. Found the rape scene traumatic and feel uncomfortable with the dominant idea that life begins at conception. It feels quite anti-abortion.2 people found this helpful
