About this ebook
Moving house links many lives—and sets off an unexpected series of events—in this compelling tale from “a novelist of the highest quality” (The Independent on Sunday).
What makes a house a home are the stories of the people who live there. And for the briefest of moments—when a house changes hands—the worlds of the sellers and buyers collide . . .
A woman too old and frail to live on her own sells her apartment to a middle-aged couple forced to downsize due to financial woes. Their modest house proves the perfect place for an upper-middle-class family to start over after the son is accused of a dreadful crime. The home they flee catches the eye of a washed-up pop star who can no longer afford his country estate, one that has been secretly purchased to hide a scandalous royal dalliance.
With her trademark wit and verve, Gillian White shows the unexpected ways we can affect each other’s lives when one FOR SALE sign sets off a chain reaction . . .

This book definitely kept me guessing. Which event would lead to the next chain of events? Spectacular surprises. The only problem I found with this publication was the editing errors. Unfortunately this detracted enough from the book to receive less than a stellar review.
