Number Thirty-Two - Paperback

A family home, full of secrets.

Number Thirty-Two was once a family home. Anna was once a mother and a wife. Now, she is in arrears and alone.

With little choice but to sell up, she is forced to confront the memories of the people who once inhabited the empty rooms. With the help of an unlikely ally in her next door neighbour's son, she is finally able to piece together the tragic events of forty years ago that have inextricably linked the fates of their families and ricocheted through both of their households for decades.

Number Thirty-Two is a novel of family secrets and shocking betrayals, promising heartbreak and humour in equal measures.

'Two women, three children and a secret that spans half a lifetime. An evocative, beautifully written story of forgiveness and recovery.' - Julia Slack, author of The Road to Somorrostro

'A story of pain, loss and self sabotage. Steward holds up a mirror and we have no choice but to look. Her interpretation of the devouring mother is rare and familiar at the same time. A triumph of women's literature that you need to read.' - Ashley McCarthy, author of The Heralding
