Review: The Au Pair

The Au Pair by Emma Rous
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was confusing in the first half mainly because it kept switching back and forth between 1991 and 2017. It covers the life of Laura, an au pair, who has a confusing life herself. When she is in charge of the baby, Edwin, while his mom is pregnant all seemed well. By the time you get half way through you know something is up and life gets tangled up.

Seraphine and her twin brother, Danny are born and minutes later, Ruth their mom throws herself off a cliff. The village gossips, the au pair goes back to her home and it's not until years later when Seraphine's dad dies that she goes through his belongings and starts to uncover photos of only one baby and questions are raised.

Is she really a Summerbourne twin? If not, who is her mother? Seraphine will not stop until she has all the answers...even at the risk of breaking up her family.
