Charity Norman - Luke Livingstone secret his life

Luke Livingstone is a lucky man: a great husband, a caring family man, a successful lawyer, a respected member of society. His marriage is enviably beautiful and his family home near London is an island of peace.

But Luke is hiding a huge secret. As the years go by, she becomes increasingly unable to bear the burden, and one day she decides to confess to her family: for as long as she can remember, she has always felt like a woman. He doesn't want to live his remaining years the way others expect him to.
Is it possible to bury someone if they are not dead, only after that they live among us in a different way? What do the wife, children, colleagues say about Luke's transformation? Who stays with him and who turns away from him?
New Zealand author Charity Norman has been touted as a worthy rival to Jodi Picoult. His disturbing and thought-provoking novels deal with deeply human subjects in a very readable style. It poses questions for readers that have no clear answers.
