Ask Again, Yes

Audiobook

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Ask Again, Yes written by Mary Beth Keane, read by Molly Pope.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER & RADIO 2 SUMMER BOOK CLUB PICK, A GRIPPING FAMILY DRAMA SET IN SUBURBAN NEW YORK
'I absolutely adored it'
Liane Moriarty, bestselling author of Big Little Lies

Gillam, upstate New York.

A town of ordinary, big-lawned suburban houses. The Gleesons have recently moved there and soon welcome the Stanhopes as their new neighbours. Lonely Lena Gleeson wants a friend but Anne Stanhope - cold, elegant, unstable - wants to be left alone.
It's left to their children - Lena's youngest, Kate, and Anne's only child, Peter - to find their way to one another. To form a friendship whose resilience and love will be almost broken by the fault line dividing both families, and by the terrible tragedy that will engulf them all.
A tragedy whose true origins only become clear many years later . . .
A story of love and redemption, faith and forgiveness, Ask Again, Yes reveals the way childhood memories change when viewed from the distance of adulthood - villains lose their menace, and those who appeared innocent seem less so.

A story of how, if we're lucky, the violence lurking beneath can be vanquished by the power of love.

'Leaves one shaking one's head in frank admiration. A triumph'
Matthew Thomas, bestselling author of We Are Not Ourselves
