En 1972, se añadieron dos segundos al tiempo, un evento que sirve como telón de fondo para esta conmovedora novela de Rachel Joyce. La historia sigue a Byron Hemmings, un niño de once años, cuya vida da un vuelco cuando su madre, Diana, atropella accidentalmente a una niña. Este incidente desencadena una serie de eventos que desmoronan la fachada de la familia perfecta, revelando secretos y verdades ocultas. Diana, atormentada por la culpa, busca consuelo en la madre de la niña herida, mientras que Byron se convierte en testigo de las fisuras en su mundo. Con una prosa cautivadora, Joyce explora temas de culpa, redención y la fragilidad de las relaciones familiares, culminando en un desenlace sorprendente y emotivo.
