About What Happened to Charlotte
When Charlotte moves to New Zealand with her new husband, she leaves everything familiar behind.
Pregnant and increasingly isolated, she begins experiencing strange gaps in her memory.
Conversations appear to have taken place without her remembering them. Objects aren’t where she left them. Her confidence in her own mind begins to crumble.
Charlotte fears there may be something seriously wrong with her.
But if she cannot trust her own mind, how can she be trusted to protect her child?
And what if someone else is responsible for what is happening?
Decades later, Charlotte’s daughter Sophie receives an unexpected message from a stranger claiming to have been her mother’s closest friend.
As Sophie begins investigating the past, everything she thought she knew about her family starts to unravel.
What Happened to Charlotte is a suspenseful domestic thriller about the fragility of memory, the fierce pull of maternal love and the family secrets that refuse to stay buried.
