Publisher's Synopsis

DISCOVER THE EMOTIONALLY CHARGED AND UNPUTDOWNABLE NEW NOVEL FROM HILARY BOYD

Bel Carnegie's life is not perfect. Still recovering from her ex-husband's betrayal she lives with her narcissistic father in the family flat in Earl's Court.

Then one summer she decides to swap the sweltering city for beautiful Cornwall. While renting a little cottage she finds that the sea, sunshine and new friends help heal her damaged heart.

But Bel soon learns that you can't run from the past and it isn't long before it comes knocking once more . . .

'Hilary Boyd nails family dynamics and misplaced loyalties with pin-sharp precision in an impressively well-written tale' Daily Express

'I was ripping through this book . . . addictive' Evening Standard

'Boyd is as canny as Joanna Trollope at observing family life' Daily Mail

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
