In a Single Moment
Two families, two babies and one maddeningly hot day that will change their lives forever
In the next bed, exhausted and wearing a perfectly impractical lace-trimmed white nightgown, Sylvie has just given birth to her first child at forty and wants to sleep, while her oblivious husband Jeremy hovers and suggests he sketch this ‘perfect moment’. The midwife thinks she’ll feel more like bonding with her baby when she’s had some rest, but Sylvie isn’t so sure. She and Jeremy call their daughter Leonora.
Amazon Reviews
I remember the long hot summer of 1976 and the early chapters brought it all back. The story was intriguing and thought provoking and the characters were realistic and relatable. I would recommend!
This emotional story was very sensitively written, and the characters very relatable.
Lots of ups and downs and lots of mixed emotions.
I was thoroughly immersed throughout this book
New books by Imogen Clark can’t come quick enough and this one, “In a Single Moment” was no exception.
Enjoyed this book so much! The characters were relatable together with the time line. Love the writing style of family secrets which are brought to life so perfectly.
“Connected by loss, a friendship blooms across the generations in this compassionate and nuanced story of endings and new.” Fiona Valpy, bestselling author of The Skylark’s Secret
