Summary

An entertaining, warm and quirky novel of families, secrets and the truth of love.

Judith shares her life with her partner, Joanna, on the lonely wilds of Bodmin Moor, far from the memories and trauma of her childhood. But when Judith's sister, Deborah, is tragically widowed, the women agree to meet. And what is intended to be a harmonious reunion turns into an entanglement of resentment, jealousy and desire as aspects of the past force themselves into an uneasy present, with some surprising results.

not great

the story and characters felt quite superficial. The story really dragged for most of the book but then as more started to happen, it rushed along and lacked depth and felt quite unsatisfying by the end
