Emilie Vital or Lyse Rose de Carville?
In December 1980 a plane crashes on the Franco-Swiss border and 168 out of the 169 passengers perish. The sole survivor, a three month baby girl. But there were two families travelling with an infant, who's baby survived?
Eighteen years later and on Lylie's ( an amalgamation of both girls names ) birthday she receives the journal of the detective, Credule Grand-Duc paid by the de Cavilles to discover the truth.
The journal takes us on his eighteen year journey, searching for the true identity of the Miracle Baby found in the wreckage.
The heartbreak the two families go through as they each fight to prove the baby is theirs is tangible, the grandparents on each side, wanting desperately to bring their granddaughter home.
The story twists and turns, each clue sending thoughts in a different direction. It'll have you scratching your head, guessing, then guessing again.
This is the authors first book to be translated into English, and I really hope it's not the last.
