Synopsis
Set in a small community on the Scottish coast, the new feel-good story about family, belonging and finding peace with the past from the author of The Lighthouse Bookshop and The Forgotten Garden. &‘Warm, tender and wise, Sharon Gosling&’s well-crafted, engrossing story was a pleasure to read&’ Rachel Hore, author of The Hidden Years 'Beautifully observed family dynamics in the present day all wrapped up in a romantic mystery from the 1800s. Absorbing and memorable' Juliet Ashton Bette and Nina Crowdie have never been close – the ten-year age difference doesn&’t help, and Bette&’s rarely been home since she left for university at eighteen. When their father passes away and unexpectedly splits the family farm between them, Nina is furious and afraid. She&’s been working at the farm for the past five years. It&’s the only home her young son, Barnaby, has ever had, and she&’s convinced that Bette will sell at the first chance she gets. When they discover the huge debt their father has been hiding, Bette reluctantly agrees to help her sister. But that means they have to find a way to work together, and Bette must face up to the real reason she left all those years ago. Could a long-forgotten diary and the discovery of a secret orchard on their land help save the farm – and the sisters&’ relationship? Praise for Sharon Gosling: 'A compelling read with a dramatic sense of place and a caring community at its heart' Heidi Swain &‘A warm, romantic mystery, beautifully structured and feelingly written&’ ― Daily Mail
