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.
