About the Book
Sweeping from Cornwall to Karachi, this is a compelling and heartwrenching tale of love, secrets and betrayal across generations.
Perfect for readers who love Santa Montefiore, Rosanna Ley and Dinah Jefferies.
When Gabby looks back at her childhood in Cornwall, she has a kaleidoscope of happy memories. An old house surrounded by wildflower fields, a sea of the deepest blue and hidden coves where she and her sister Dominique roamed wild. But one defining memory colours everything – the day that Dominique was silently and inexplicably sent away, shattering the close family forever.
Years later, Gabby is working as a translator in London. When her husband Mike is offered a transfer to Pakistan, Gabby wonders if swapping the grey London streets for the buzz and vibrancy of Karachi might be the change that she – and her marriage – needs.
But the reality of Karachi isn’t the escape that Gabby hoped for. Her life begins to unwind with alarming speed and changes the direction of her life. When she returns with Dominique to the old house in Cornwall, the sisters are caught in the slipstream of the past. So begins a journey into the heart of their childhood, which will unearth a secret buried many years ago…
