AlbakiReads Editorial A reunion unsettles two families’ shared past
A reunion unsettles two families’ shared past
Fourteen years after losing touch, former school friends Jenny and Ruth meet again and begin reconstructing the years that separated them. Their renewed connection is complicated by Jenny’s recent bereavement and by Adam, Ruth’s son, whose resemblance to Jenny’s late husband turns recognition into fixation. The novel traces how an old friendship, buried family history, and an increasingly fraught attachment place both households under strain. With its Cornish village backstory and present-day reunion, the book centers on identity, grief, secrecy, and the disruptive consequences of learning what has been withheld.

A chance meeting between two old friends leads to an obsessive love which will unearth long-hidden secrets, causing a bitter rift between two families.
Jenny and Ruth were best friends at school until Ruth abruptly moved away from their Cornish village and they lost all contact. Fourteen years later, a chance meeting on a train throws both their lives into turmoil. As they begin to fill in the gaps from the years that have passed, their old friendship sparks back into life.
One glimpse of Ruth's son Adam sends Jenny into a spiral of love, grief and obsession. Adam is the image of Jenny's husband, Tom, killed suddenly and tragically six months earlier. As Jenny discovers the truth about Adam, a powerful bond springs up between them that will have unforeseen consequences for both families.
'Come Away with Me' is a moving and provoking portrayal of how two women challenge each other's identity in what becomes an unbearable life swap.
