Publisher's summary

The Promise is a unforgettable story about finding love, hope and joy in even the darkest moments, by the Sunday Times best seller Lucy Diamond, author of The Secrets of Happiness.

When faced with the sudden death of his brother, Dan’s mission is clear. He puts together a project to help pick up the pieces and support his grieving sister-in-law Zoe, plus her young children. This is Dan’s promise - to ensure his family’s happiness and to try and live up to the man his brother was.

But tying up loose ends brings a shocking secret to light and calls into question everything Dan knew about his older brother. With more than just his promise on the line, Dan is faced with an ultimatum: should he tell the truth and risk his family’s fragile happiness, or will his brother’s secrets end up becoming his own?

Critic reviews

"A bittersweet, big-hearted take on family dynamics, grief, and how to make happiness a priority." (Woman and Home)

OK but a bit disappointing

I got to the end but wasn't very invested in the characters. there wasn't any highs or lows .. it just seemed to be a story if a widow, her brother in law and him trying to redeem himself. The narrator was a bit flat which didnt help.
