About this listen

The Promise is a unforgettable story about finding love, hope and joy in even the darkest moments, by the Sunday Times best seller Lucy Diamond, author of The Secrets of Happiness.

When faced with the sudden death of his brother, Dan’s mission is clear. He puts together a project to help pick up the pieces and support his grieving sister-in-law Zoe, plus her young children. This is Dan’s promise - to ensure his family’s happiness and to try and live up to the man his brother was.

But tying up loose ends brings a shocking secret to light and calls into question everything Dan knew about his older brother. With more than just his promise on the line, Dan is faced with an ultimatum: should he tell the truth and risk his family’s fragile happiness, or will his brother’s secrets end up becoming his own?

Critic reviews

"A bittersweet, big-hearted take on family dynamics, grief, and how to make happiness a priority." (Woman and Home)
All stars
Most relevant
I was hooked from the first page and couldn't stop listening to this. what an emotional journey for all of the characters in this book. The sudden death of one man; Patrick Shepherd has affected so many lives, wife, kids, brother, parents and others all with their own memories, guilty feelings, whys, what ifs and if onlys. The narrator was great and did a fantastic job with the story and characters. I couldn't recommend this enough!

what a journey!!

Really good representation of grief. I thought the story was a bit slow going at times.. I really like the ending I thought it was very sweet.

Lucy Diamond creates wonderful characters and very well portrayed by Catrin Stewart’s excellent reading. I particularly loved the interaction between them all.

Another lovely family story

I really enjoyed this story. The plot is quite unusual and is much more about emotions than location. The characters are portrayed realistically and are believable and the as the plot unfolds, the scenarios that develop are lifelike and you can imagine this happening in real life. My only criticism is that being a male listener I wanted Dan to someimes grow some balls.
A very good story that I could not stop listening and excellently narrated.

A moving and well told story

I’ve listened to a few of her books now and this one is a favourite of mine. The storyline is full of twists and turns and i became quickly invested in the characters and how their lives became intertwined. It is definitely worth a credit.

Gripping, clever and thoughtful
