Veronica Henry 'A gorgeous evocative tale of love and loss and healing' Liz Fenwick 'A beautiful, faded family home, a large messy family that's full of secrets and misunderstandings, characters that are so alive and complex and fascinating. I loved the writing, the sharp-eyed descriptions and scene setting, but most of all the emotional intelligence invested in all the characters. A fabulous debut' Fanny Blake 'This novel has it all: wonderful contemporary characters you come to really care about, loving but tangled, and at times fraught, family relationships, love in all its forms, and at its core, a destructive family secret.
