About this listen
Escape to the stunning scenery of North Wales in this poignant and heartwarming tale of love and family secrets.
1943
Evelyn dreams of escaping Vaughan Court and the loveless marriage that led her there. Then, at the height of the Second World War, a single moment changes her life and tethers her to the house for ever.
2016
Decades later, life has given as much as it has taken from Evelyn. Although a best-selling author, Evelyn still cannot escape the painful hold of the past.
Aspiring journalist Bethan hasn't been back to Vaughan Court since she was a little girl. But the opportunity to interview her grandmother's oldest friend - the Evelyn Vaughan - leads her back to North Wales. As Bethan learns about Evelyn's life, she realises the ghosts of the grand house are yet to be laid to rest. And soon she's determined to uncover the secrets hidden within....
Kate Glanville returns with a poignant and heartwarming story of love, family and friends, set in the stunning scenery of North Wales. Perfect for fans of Rosanna Ley, Karen Swan and Santa Montefiore.

A captivating story!
Another beautiful, intricate and absorbing story from this author. She makes strong, endearing characters that you end up really caring about. Nothing is obvious or inevitable, so you're never sure how things will turn out, but by the end I was a happy wreck! Sad to finish it, as I'll have to wait for her next book which is still in the works. I have now read all of her books one after the other and can thoroughly recommend all of them!

Engaging.
A well paced story with strong believable characters. I enjoyed this from start to finish. Not too heavy going but not too light either. An engaging gentle book following two generations.
