Description

If V. C. Andrews and Kate Morton had a literary love child, Emma Rous' USA Today best seller The Au Pair would be it.

One of the most anticipated books of 2019 from Pop Sugar, Bustle, Cosmo, Parade, and Goodreads!

Seraphine Mayes and her twin brother, Danny, were born in the middle of summer at their family's estate on the Norfolk coast. Within hours of their birth, their mother threw herself from the cliffs, the au pair fled, and the village thrilled with whispers of dark cloaks, changelings, and the aloof couple who drew a young nanny into their inner circle.

Now an adult, Seraphine mourns the recent death of her father. While going through his belongings, she uncovers a family photograph that raises dangerous questions. It was taken on the day the twins were born, and in the photo, their mother, surrounded by her husband and her young son, is smiling serenely and holding just one baby. Who is the child, and what really happened that day?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“This will keep you turning those pages. The characters are still playing on my mind.” (Jane Corry, USA Today best-selling author of My Husband's Wife)

“Entrancing and compelling, The Au Pair seamlessly alternates between two riveting narrators. Atmospheric and reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier's work, it's a beautiful read that delivers a shocking and satisfying ending.” (Liv Constantine, USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish)

“As delicious and spellbinding as a soap opera, complete with the dramatic moments and outrageous twists. A promising first novel from Rous, The Au Pair is an absolutely absorbing and scandalous page-turner.” (Booklist)

“This is one hell of a ride.” (New York Post)

Great distraction

The Au Pair proved to be great distraction. Told from two perspectives: a family's au pair at the time twins were born, and the quest one of those twins to untangle the truth as an adult. What were the family secrets behind this twin's story? Her father had a recent fatal accident... or was it? Her mother committed suicide on the day she was born... why? The only photo of her parents on the day she was born showed only one baby... where was the other twin? There are more twists and possibilities than one can imagine, so this novel kept my attention through to the end.

Very Glad I selected this book!

I was deciding between a few books and chose this one on a whim. Wasnt sure if I was going to like it but wow. I was not disappointed. The narrator was excellent wonderful job portraying the different characters throughout the book. And the story was very well done. I couldn't put it down!

What a tangled web

Not sure how it seems others claim it was easy to guess the mystery because I was surprised as things unfolded. Well written, bit of a stretch perhaps and yet….we hear those stories out there of how selfish “adults” can be with little thought of future generations. Enjoyable time spent listening to this book.

TOO LONG AND NOT ENGAGING

This is my 1st book by this author. The title and description sounded interesting and entertaining but half way through, I got bored. I did not find the story engaging and I believe it could have been told in 5 hrs as opposed to 11 hrs. There is too much repetition of what the "issue" is; it just drags for too long for me. They are constantly eating or preparing sandwiches. I ended up skipping 3 or 4 chapters in full in the middle of the story, because I just wanted to get to the end so I could finish the book.

I liked that it was read by 2 separate narrators but some of their voices were strange. They still did a good job.

RE-READ WORTHY!

My first audible purchase! I was drawn by the cover so decided to give this a listen, trying to figure out if Audible was even for me.

I actually bought the paperback so I can read this in a year on my own, I enjoyed this so much. I really loved the concept of this. Seraphine was a bit of an annoying character but just push through, it gets so good! I kind of had an idea of how this would end but there is a twist! Emma Rous, please write more!!


Narration: At first I wondered why they picked the narrator for the Seraphine character (I was not impressed). After about three chapters however, I was h-o-o-k-e-d. Both ladies did an amazing job.

Predictable but very interesting

The audio is excellent and very well read. The story is a little predictable but a few pleasant twists. Recommended!
