Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock … midnight. As the old millennium turns into the new, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.

Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl. Anna leaves with empty arms. Seventeen years later, the truth of that night starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.

A reckoning is coming. Lives will collide. And mother-love will be tested … Because Of You is Dawn French’s stunning new novel, told with her signature humour, warmth and so much love.

‘I absolutely loved Because of You. Fantastic, passionate, compassionate, so much wisdom, a lot of humour, very real and credible‘ Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other.
