Synopsis

‘Immersive, captivating, utterly transporting’ STACEY HALLS

‘A gripping family saga, intertwining two families, two big loves, 60s New York and 50s London. If you like the Cazalets you’ll love this’ DAISY BUCHANAN

'Readers of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be riveted' BOOKLIST

***

Every family’s story starts somewhere . . .

On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Alice Jansen collects her treasures – the keepsakes, figurines and mementoes that help her make sense of her fragile family. But the next day her heart is broken, and the final treasure, a gift from her father, is lost.

Two years later, Alice answers a phone call from a stranger and runs away to New York, and tries to forget her last golden summer at the orchard on the banks of the Hudson.

Tom Raven can’t understand why he keeps losing so many of the things and people that really matter to him, but he knows for certain that something important is missing from his life. One day, he remembers a forgotten letter and makes a phone call, then leaves Sevenstones, the only place that feels like home, for a strange city . . .

An enchanting, unputdownable new novel about two people finding one another and the sweeping family story that follows, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wildflowers and The Beloved Girls.
