Book description
A warm story of one idyllic summer and four very different women from
bestselling author, Maureen Lee. Brodie Logan's idyllic life with her
once-loving husband, Colin, seems to have come to an end. So when she
lets out the big house in Liverpool with its enchanting garden where she
grew up, she decides to leave Colin and share the house with the other
women who have come to live there. First, there is twenty-five year old
Diana, so innocent and childlike, yet terribly practical having raised
her three younger brothers to be fine young men. But Diana suddenly
finds there is no place for her in the only home she has ever known.
Then there is Vanessa, once a successful career woman, now miserable and
overweight, who still can't get over the shock of an unexpected
rejection. And finally, Rachel, barely fifteen, with her baby daughter,
Poppy, who some people seem determined to take away from her. As they
while away the brilliant summer under the trees in the lovely garden of
the big house, friendships form that will last a lifetime. But it isn't
all a bed of roses; bad things happen too - after all, nothing lasts
forever. This enchanting, contemporary novel's warmth and quiet mystery
shows once again that Maureen Lee is quite the exceptional storyteller.
