BLOGIVERSARY AUDIO BOOK GIVEAWAY
GIVEAWAY ENDED A SECRET KEPT
BY TATIANA DeROSNAY
READ BY SIMON VANCE
THE BEST SELLING AUDIO BOOK RETURNS!
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
This stunning new novel from Tatiana de Rosnay, best selling author of the acclaimed New York Times Sarah’s Key, plumbs the depths of complex family relationships and the power of a past secret to change everything in the present.
It all began with a simple seaside vacation, a brother and sister recapturing their childhood. Antoine Rey thought he had the perfect surprise for his sister Mélanie’s birthday: a weekend by the sea at Noirmoutier Island, where the pair spent many happy childhood summers playing on the beach. It had been too long, Antoine thought, since they’d returned to the island—over thirty years, since their mother died and the family holidays ceased. But the island’s haunting beauty triggers more than happy memories; it reminds Mélanie of something unexpected and deeply disturbing about their last island summer. When, on the drive home to Paris, she finally summons the courage to reveal what she knows to Antoine, her emotions overcome her and she loses control of the car.
Recovering from the accident in a nearby hospital, Mélanie tries to recall what caused her to crash. Antoine encounters an unexpected ally: sexy, streetwise Angèle, a mortician who will teach him new meanings for the words life, love and death. Suddenly, however, the past comes swinging back at both siblings, burdened with a dark truth about their mother, Clarisse.
Trapped in the wake of a shocking family secret shrouded by taboo, Antoine must confront his past and also his troubled relationships with his own children. How well does he really know his mother, his children, even himself? Suddenly fragile on all fronts as a son, a husband, a brother and a father, Antoine Rey will learn the truth about his family and himself the hard way. By turns thrilling, seductive and destructive, with a lingering effect that is bittersweet and redeeming, A Secret Kept is the story of a modern family, the invisible ties that hold it together, and the impact it has throughout life.

The fact that this book is narrated by Simon Vance is enough to recommend it! Vance is "the voice" who gave life to the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson.

I would like to have the passage by justin cronin on audio book.
twoofakind12@yahoo.com
A family secret wrapped up into a mystery sounds perfect to me. The icing on top of the cake is that the narrator for this audio book is Simon Vance. Simon Vance is the narrator of many audio books. I especially enjoyed his narration of all three of Stieg Larsson’s mystery novels: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” … “The Girl Who Played with Fire” … “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest”
With fingers crossed I drop my name in your hat! Thanks for the opportunity!

The family secret in this story must have been very serious and maybe shameful for them to keep so long. It would be very interesting to find out what the secret is and to know what happened after the secret was revealed.

My husband's family seems to have many secrets they want to keep---any many of them are hard for me to understand why they should be a secret and wonder if there is something deeper----so maybe this book would shed light on the nature of family secrets for me.
