The Promise is a unforgettable story about finding love, hope and joy in even the darkest moments, by the Sunday Times bestseller Lucy Diamond, author of The Secrets of Happiness.

'A bittersweet, big-hearted take on family dynamics, grief, and how to make happiness a priority' Woman and Home

When faced with the sudden death of his brother, Dan’s mission is clear. He puts together a project to help pick up the pieces and support his grieving sister-in-law Zoe, plus her young children. This is Dan’s promise - to ensure his family’s happiness, and to try and live up to the man his brother was.

But tying up loose ends brings a shocking secret to light, and calls into question everything Dan knew about his older brother. With more than just his promise on the line, Dan is faced with an ultimatum: Should he tell the truth and risk his family’s fragile happiness, or will his brother’s secrets end up becoming his own?

Real readers love The Promise:

Critic reviews

No one creates funny, flawed and immediately relatable characters like Lucy. I adored this book from the very first page (Cathy Bramley, bestselling author of A Patchwork Family, on An Almost Perfect Holiday)
Multi-layered, compelling and beautifully written (Daily Express on Something to Tell You)
A beautiful, life-affirming novel (Sun on On a Beautiful Day)
Seamless, engaging, believable, fun and heartfelt (Heat on The House of New Beginnings)
This warm, moreish tale is about a large, appealing family in transition (Daily Mail on Something to Tell You)

I got to the end but wasn't very invested in the characters. there wasn't any highs or lows .. it just seemed to be a story if a widow, her brother in law and him trying to redeem himself. The narrator was a bit flat which didnt help.

OK but a bit disappointing
