'My Sweet Girl is like nothing else I've read. Set in San Francisco and Sri
Lanka, this is a story about friendship, lies, and guilt. A stunning and
original must-read' Samantha Downing, Sunday Times bestselling author of My
Lovely Wife
A girl in a new country.
A dark secret left behind.
A dead body which might tell all.
Ever since she was adopted from an orphanage in Sri Lanka, Paloma has led a
privileged Californian life: the best schools, a generous allowance and
parents so perfect that Paloma fears she'll never live up to them.
Now at thirty, Paloma has managed to disappoint her parents so thoroughly that
their relationship will never recover. Unemployed and friendless, the only
person still talking to her is Arun - the Indian man subletting her spare
room. That is until Arun discovers Paloma's darkest secret, one that could
jeopardize her fragile place in this country, and the next day is found face
down in a pool of blood.
On finding Arun's body Paloma flees her apartment. But by the time the police
arrive, there's no body to be found or signs of struggle - and no evidence
that Arun ever even existed in the first place.
The police may be quick to dismiss everything, but Paloma knows what she saw.
Is this tangled up in her childhood in Sri Lanka and the desperate actions she
took to leave so many years ago? And did Paloma's secret die with Arun or is
she now in greater danger than ever before?
