About this ebook
For many years Colette has avoided returning to her homeland - the magical island of Belle-Île-en-Mer in Southern Brittany - afraid to confront the painful memories she left behind. But when she hears about her mother Thea's failing health, she realises that the time has come for her to go home. But can Colette ever forgive Thea for what she has done?
Despite Colette's wariness, romantic Belle-Île still fascinates her. She takes on the running of her mother's flower shop, and as Thea opens up to her for the first time, Colette finds herself being drawn back into the landscape of her past.
But the ghosts of that past still linger. What happened all those years ago and how did it cause the rift between mother and daughter? It becomes clear that the beauty of Belle-Île hides a devastating family secret - one that Colette is determined to unravel at any cost.

A lovely read. I was in the moment. Absorbed into the characters, the landscape and the story.
