The beautiful city of Venice has been Lydia's home for many years, a place where she has found peace and fulfilment. Then one day she glimpses a young man's face in the crowd that threatens to change everything. He's a heart-stopping reminder of a dreadful secret she believed she had banished to the past ... As a young child, Lydia and her sister were sent to live with grandparents they'd never even met before. It was a cruel and loveless new world for them and it forced Lydia to grow up fast. She learned to keep secrets and to trust sparingly, and through it all she was shadowed by grief and guilt. Now, twenty-eight years later, Lydia is persuaded to leave behind the safe new life she has created for herself and return to England to face the past. And maybe her future.

Soppy, but very easy reading.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy my choice - it is on your Wishlist.

Just what I needed today: the joy of opening a package and finding a book inside :-D
I have not read a book by this author before, I'm looking forward to reading it.
Thanks for trading cross-patch!

P.S. found some labels for registering books inside as well. Thanks!

I loved this story. I'm pleasantly surprised by this author and would gladly read more books by her.

7-8-2013: agreed to trade this book with Bjorg for The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

Thanks for trading Bjorg and happy reading!

The book arrived today, thanks so much dutch-flybabe :)

I just loved this book, I know it was a bit corny in the very end but apart from that is was just great. I have read a few books by Erica James and I have to say that this one is the best so far :)

Will give this book to birnsen when I see her tonight

thanks Björg :-)

A bit slow on times but the story was good. :-)

Handed it over to a bookcrossing friend from Birmingham when meeting in Reykjavík earlier today. :-)

Sorry for delayed journal entry.

Received from birnsen when we met in Reykjavik. Taking it to the Birmingham meet up.
