This is an absolutely fabulous book! I have read most of Sally Beauman's books but this was just fantastic! I couldn't put my book down as it was such a wonderful read!

Some might be put off by the title in thinking that this is a slight book or in some ways wishy washy.... Don't be!
This book captivates the reader within a haunting story about the lives of three sisters in 1960's Suffolk. The story moves to 1991 and we see the consequences of the events that have taken place. As the story unravels you ... Read More
