About this book
Description
A journey into the past, and hope for the future... Three women come to a remote Cornish village for the summer: Jenna, only 26 and grieving for the loss of the love of her life; her mother Caro, whose husband Steve has also died; and Laura, who had been married to Caro's beloved brother Geoff.They are staying in a house called Widdowe's Cottage - a poignantly suitable name. In that tiny Cornish community they discover many strange memories of their forebears, and especially of Tilly, Caro's mother, whose family history seemed to mirror so much of their own. They become swept up in the dramatic story of Tilly and her family, a story which takes them on an epic journey across the West Country and to the solution of an amazing family mystery.
