Beneath the Surface Summary

Beneath the Surface: The gripping new psychological drama from the Sunday Times bestseller by Fiona Neill

'No one writes about modern family with more truth or authenticity than Fiona Neill' Lisa Jewell

'Well-paced and intriguing' Daily Mail

Everyone is talking about Grace's family. Once it was for all the right reasons - now it's for all the wrong ones.

Grace is determined to give her daughters the idyllic childhood she never had.

Teenage Lilly is everyone's golden girl, the one Grace never has to worry about - unlike ten-year-old Mia, whose wild imagination often gets her into trouble.

But when Lilly suddenly collapses at school, Grace's carefully ordered world is turned upside down.

Because it soon turns out that Lilly wasn't the perfect daughter after all.

Grace is fixated on discovering the truth about Lilly. Which is when she takes her eyes off Mia . . .

Beneath the Surface, the stunning new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Fiona Neill, explores the consequences of family expectations and the burden of keeping secrets.
