La donna silenziosa

Ci sono bugie che non possono essere perdonate Autrice del bestseller La donna silenziosa Noah non ha mai dimenticato April, il suo primo amore. Quando, molti anni dopo, scopre che è sospettata di un omicidio, non dubita neanche un istante della sua innocenza. Ma April è in rianimazione, non può difendersi e tutte le prove sono contro di lei. Noah desidera disperatamente aiutarla, anche a costo di riaprire vecchie ferite e affrontare una volta per tutte la fine della loro relazione. Quello che non può immaginare è che April abbia sempre nascosto dei segreti. Era innamorata di lui e non aveva intenzione di ferirlo, ma qualcosa – o qualcuno – ha reso impossibile la loro felicità. Ella è una bambina trascurata dai genitori che ha come sola confidente la sua psicologa. Non sa di essere a conoscenza di un indizio che potrebbe aiutare a chiarire la posizione di April.
