The Truth of Us by Sara Cox **Signed Indie Bookshop Edition**

The Truth of Us is the warm, wise and life-affirming new novel from Sara Cox, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Thrown and Way Back, Radio 2 broadcaster and BBC TV presenter.

FRIENDS ARE THE FAMILY YOU CHOOSE.
Manchester, 1982. The houses on the street are almost identical but number 51 has always been slightly neater, a shiny penny next to number 49. The people inside have their differences too but still their lives are entwined, most especially for young girls Abi and Christy. From questionable fashion choices, illicit nights out and doomed romances, growing up together they share everything. Except the secret that eventually tears them apart.

Two decades later, Abi’s life is one of marriage, family and stability. Christy, always the wilder of the two, has travelled and partied and risen high in the TV world. Until, unexpectedly, they’re living next door to each other again. Is it finally time to confront the past and speak the truth?

Beautifully written, poignant and heartfelt, The Truth of Us is a stunning novel about love, family and the people we want by our side through everything.
