Praise for Susan

It is beautiful and mesmerising; like entering a dream. I was spellbound and couldn’t do anything else but keep reading.  Jill Dawson

The Book

June 1914 and Clara Waterfield is summoned to a large stone house in Gloucestershire. Her task: to fill a greenhouse with exotic plants from Kew Gardens, to create a private paradise for the owner of Shadowbrook. Yet, on arrival, Clara hears rumours: something is wrong with this quiet, wisteria-covered house.  Its rooms are shuttered, or empty. The owner is mostly absent; the housekeeper seems afraid. And soon, Clara understands her fear: nothing is quite what it seems.

Praise for Hannah Beckerman

A heart-breaking story, beautifully unwound and tenderly told. This book made me cry on public transport and I didn’t even care, that’s how good it is.  Erin Kelly

The Book

Audrey’s family has fallen apart. Her two grown-up daughters, Jess and Lily, are estranged, and her two teenage granddaughters have never been allowed to meet. A secret that echoes back thirty years has splintered the family in two, but is also the one thing keeping them connected.  As tensions reach breaking point, the irrevocable choice that one of them made all those years ago is about to surface. After years of secrets and silence, how can one broken family find their way back to each other?
