by Cathy Kelly (Author)
The warm and moving new novel from the no. 1 bestselling author of Always and Forever and Past Secrets. Having left the small Irish town where she grew up, Izzie is now very much a New Yorker. She's big and beautiful and runs a model agency for plus-sized women. But she's just broken one of her cardinal rules by falling for a married man, and now it's make or break time. On the other side of the world Izzie's aunt Anneliese is just discovering that her husband Edward has been having an affair with her best friend Nell. Utterly devastated and angry at such betrayal, Anneliese is facing the terrifying realisation that at nearly sixty years old, she is now utterly alone. Then suddenly the women are forced to forget their personal problems and come together as Lynne, the beloved family matriarch is gravely ill. Arriving in the beautiful seaside town of Tamarin where they once lived, they begin to learn about Lynne's past and her great love during the war -- Commander Jamie Hamilton. Love may have led them to heartbreak, but Izzie and Anneliese soon understand they still have the power to rebuild their lives and find true happiness!
