When Will there Be Good News by Kate Atkinson

This exciting book begins with a crime that happened thirty years ago. Six-year-old Joanna survived a horrible attack. Today she is a successful doctor, a wife and a mother. Louise Monroe, from the police, comes to alert Joanna that the man responsible for the crime is being released. When Joanna abruptly leaves with her baby, Reggie, the 16 year-old nanny is sure that something terrible has happened. This book has several main characters whose lives intersect. It kept me reading at an ever quickening pace because I wanted to know what was going to happen. Loved it!
