Summary

If you loved The Letter by Kathryn Hughes and The Hourglass by Tracy Rees you’ll be swept away by this stunning summer story.

Italy, 1958: Rachael is a young widow with a small child. After a lifetime of running for survival, of not knowing who to trust and where to call home, she finds herself in a place of safety. On a sun-drenched Italian island for one carefree summer the troubles of her past fade away, and she falls in love. But will Rachael’s new-found happiness bring her further heartache?

England, 2017: Sophie has a handsome husband, a gorgeous house in the English countryside, and a successful career as an anthropologist. But the one thing she longs for is a baby of her own. As she struggles to conceive, cracks begin to appear in her marriage. So Sophie throws herself into her work and tries to seek comfort in childhood memories of her beloved grandmother Rachael.

One afternoon, Sophie finds a forgotten letter and an exquisite silk bracelet hidden in Rachael’s old writing desk. Intrigued, she begins to unravel the extraordinary story of her grandmother’s past - and a secret that has the power to change everything....

The Photograph is an utterly beautiful and compelling story of love, loss, and a family secret spanning generations.

A great story.

I loved this story. The theme of love and heartbreak interspersed with history and archaeology make this a fascinating tale. The narrator was wonderful. I can't wait to read another by Debbie Rix.

Warm & Fuzzy

Such a wonderful book. It’s a real page turner. One you don’t want to put down and can’t wait to get back to. A beautiful story full of love, joy and hardship . I loved getting to know all of the characters and the journeys of there lives . The time spent in Sardinia you can almost taste the wine and feel the sun shine as memories are made. Sorry it has to end.

An entertaining and Easy Listening novel.

A lovely novel. Ideal for easy listening. It would not rate as highly as many other Debbie Rix novels, as far as I am concerned, a little far fetched, particularly the conclusion.
