Charlotte Lawrence is consumed by guilt - after months of agonising she finally asked her workaholic husband for a divorce. The very same day, Peter was killed in a car crash. Charlottes’ only wish is to return to the idyllic village of her childhood.
Ivy Cottage and Hume Welford are all that Charlotte remembered lunch in the shade of a fig tree and fork suppers. And her interfering sister Hilary hasn’t changed either, organising everything from the milk on the doorstep to Alex, the sitting tenant. Hilary is determined that Charlotte, far too young for widow’s weeds, shall find love anew and what better place to start than the bachelor next door?
This is a story by turns poignant, moving, vivacious and comic. Jenny Agutter reads it with sympathy, warmth and pace.
