We are thrilled to announce an event with Hannah Beckerman at Linghams .
Doors open 7PM.
The highly-anticipated new novel from bestselling author
Hannah Beckerman, The Impossible Truths of Love slips
between past and present, mother and daughter, to
explore the secrets we keep to protect those we love.
As Nell’s father is dying, he makes a final declaration that
hints at a long-held family secret. Feelings of isolation that
have plagued Nell for years resurface, and suspicions about
her past are raised.
Thirty-five years earlier, Annie was devastated by a series
of traumas: one shock after another that she buried deep
in her heart. The decisions she made were motivated by
love, but she feared even then that nobody could ever
understand her actions, let alone forgive her.
As their stories unravel, a generation apart, Nell finally
discovers the devastating truth about her mother ’s past,
and her own.

THE IMPOSSIBLE TRUTHS OF LOVE
BY HANNAH BECKERMAN
‘A page turner of a story, deeply felt, finely woven, and sharp as a tack about the
unspoken conflict and isolation within families, as well as the lengths people can be
driven by both love and loss. The Impossible Truths of Love is a book about the nature
of memory; about what exactly we own and what we assume or even imagine. It’s an
unflinching book and all the better for it.’
- Rachel Joyce
‘A bold and moving story of tangled family lives, the awful things that parents do to
compensate for grief and the way despite all efforts, the truth comes out. Poignant, dark
and horrifyingly plausible.’
- Amanda Craig
‘Beautiful and heart-breaking novel about loss, family and grief.’
- Kate Mosse
‘Masterfully written and hugely powerful.’
