Reclusive, best-selling author, Charlotte Day, no longer has the passion to write. Wanting to boost her profile, her manager sends Emma Wade, a young freelance journalist to write a series of publicity articles. Suspicious of their motives, and with much to hide, Charlotte makes things difficult for the girl as Emma forces her to remember her past. Not that Charlotte shares all her memories, some are too painful and too precious - but something about Emma captivates her. Wrestling with her own secrets, Emma worms her way into Charlotte's life and is surprised to find she likes this ageing woman as they are drawn deeper into a tangle of secrets that changes the lives of both women. A compassionate look at love, loss and renewal from the author of Daniel and The Cornish Knot.
