Amazon.co.uk Synopsis
The new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iris and Ruby. Connie Thorne was a foundling, a child left by her mother for strangers to find. Forty years on, without ever being able to discover her true identity, she has put all her energy into creating a flawless shell for herself. As a child, she was musical, her sister Jeanette was deaf. One of them was dark, the other sunny. Yet they both fell in love with the same man. And her feelings for Bill, Jeanette's husband, are the one part of herself that Connie can never reshape. When she hears the news that her sister is dying, the last thing Connie wants is to leave her Bali home and return to London. But with the bitterness of betrayal still between them, Connie and Jeanette have to learn to forgive each other. Surrounded by family, can Constance make her peace with who she really is -- and who she loves?

Once again Rosie Thomas is exploring the themes of love and loss. The protagonists are all in their sixties, which maybe is why it resonated with me,being in this age group myself.
Six friends that have know each other since their university days have decided to set up home together, living in separate units on the estate in Norfolk that belongs to one of them. Intended to become a retirement haven for the group, things don't go according to plan.
Not a sensational story but a sensitively created novel, about learning how to be old! At times quite sad, so maybe not to be recommended to anyone feeling low and finding it difficult to cope with these current difficult times.
