Two women. Two children. But whose is whose?
'An emotionally charged and thought-provoking read that any parent will relate to' Woman's Weekly When two strangers, Tess and Annie, undergo IVF at an American clinic, their embryos are mixed up and each woman gives birth to the wrong child.
The women only discover the devastating error three years later. Tess wants to swap the children back; Annie doesn't. As the pair wrangle, neither of them expect what unfolds.
******* PRAISE FOR THE SWAP 'A
gripping,
heartbreaking and
original story which asks some important questions about motherhood and keeps you guessing until the very end,
absolutely loved it.'
- Clare Empson, author of HIM 'A
wonderfully written,
thought provoking and
moving read. I raced through the pages, desperate to know the outcome. Such a
clever, original idea. I loved it.'
- Claire Douglas
'Oh how it was worth the wait! Fiona has crafted an
emotive and
credible read . . . Harrowing in parts, but uplifting in others, Fiona keeps the pace constant . . .
deeply moving and
beautifully written.' -
Louise Jensen, author of THE SURROGATE and THE DATE 'The hook on the cover would grab anyone, but it's the
gorgeous writing, the
stunning attention to detail, and the searingly difficult themes explored that kept me. I read this in just two days. The impossible dilemma is so sensitively addressed, and yet Mitchell has still created an
addictive, page-turner. An
unforgettable book.'
- Louise Beech, author of THE LION 'Just finished the
brilliant THE SWAP by Fiona Mitchell and my heart aches. It explores the gut-wrenching dilemma of two women following an IVF mix-up. A
gripping tale written with great sensitivity and humour, even in its darkest moments.
Book club gold.'
