About this listen
The Top 100 bestseller, a beautiful breathtaking story from author Clare Swatman
Laura is watching the world go by without her.
Unable to leave her house since suffering a trauma, Laura is stuck gazing out of her window at Willow Crescent, relying on husband Jim and best friend Debbie for help.
Then one day, Jim doesn’t come home.
A day becomes two, days become a week, and still no sign of Jim. And with the police half-hearted in their efforts to look for him, Laura is forced into a decision.
She’s going to have to face the world outside and find her husband herself.
But what Laura hasn’t realised is that Willow Crescent is a community, eager to help. From Arthur and Carol next door ready to rally the neighbours, to Marjorie and her daughter Faye at number nine looking for their own reasons to engage with the world. From Sonja at number seven who thinks she may have seen Jim in London, to widower Ben at number four who understands all about being lonely. Laura has a world ready to embrace her if she can just find the nerve.
And when it slowly dawns on them all, that the Jim they thought they knew, may have been hiding some unfathomable secrets, Laura has a choice – retreat back behind her window, or start living the life that was waiting for her all along.
This is Clare Swatman's tour de force. At the same time emotional, uplifting and breath-taking, Laura is a character you will never forget. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Beth Moran and Ruth Jones.

Every single woman needs to read this book.
We all know that there is 'No logic in love', but poor Laura just ignores too many red flags. Not mini flags but huge Grand Prix ones! This story is both entertaining and a lesson. As I look back on my dating history, one particular chap springs to mind. If I had been reading this book, I would have sussed him out far sooner. Swatman covers agoraphobia exquisitely. A disabling illness that suffocates you from within.
A great read. Enjoy the journey.
Would thoroughly recommend.

Loved this so much - my first title by this author but won’t be my last. A really really great story!
Defo worth the full 5 stars for all 3 cats to vote on. Listened in 2 days in and off stuff I was doing. Really enjoyed the story and the narration was perfect. Really suited the audiobook. Just purchased 2 further titles by this author to start a new collection. A fab author indeed !
