Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . . midnight.
As the old millennium turns into the new, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.
Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl.
Anna leaves with empty arms.
Seventeen years later, the truth of that night starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.
A reckoning is coming. Lives will collide.
And mother-love will be tested . . .
Because Of You is Dawn French's stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.
