Book description
Every summer throughout her childhood, Florence would return to her
family home on the west coast of France, where she would be joined by
her exotic, hopelessly glamorous cousins and life as she knew it would
begin under the benevolent eye of her grandmother Mimi. It was a heady
existence of illicit drinking, stolen kisses and the bittersweet pains
of first love.
But now Florence is living completely alone with her new baby.
Haunted by nightmares, she cannot open the letters from her
grandmother accumulating on her mantelpiece. What devastating truth do
these letters hold?Why has Florence turned her back on her past? And
will she and Mimi ever be able to escape the guilt that is tearing
them apart and has shaken their family to its very core?
Natasha Farrant previously worked in publishing and now runs her own
children's literary scouting agency. She grew up in the heart of the
French community in London, and has therefore never considered herself
as completely English, although certainly not completely French, which
makes for a quite interesting view of the world. Natasha is in her
thirties, and lives in West London with her husband and two children.
