This book caught my eye today while dropping off some books in Mind Charity Shop. I don't think I've read this one by one of my favourite writers.
From back cover:
When Louise Parry arrives at Foxhole for her summer holiday, she is welcomed by kind, sensitive Brigid Foster and her incorigible, elderly mother, Frummie. Amid the peace of Dartmoor, Louise tries to forget the haunting memories from her past but an unexpected visitor forces her to remember.
Meanwhile, Brigid is battling with her own painful memories. She cannot forgive her mother for abandoning her as a child, nor can she accept that her bold, beautiful half-sister, Jemima, was the daughter whom her mother chose to keep.
But, as the summer passes, laughter returns to Foxhole. New relationships are formed and old wounds are healed, as each of the women learn that only in letting go of the past can they find life for today and hope for tomorrow.

Absolutely loved this book and I was sorry when I finished it. Lovely descriptive passages about Dartmoor, which I love, lovable characters and believable situations. And of course everything turns out well in the end like most of Marcia Willett's books. A real 'feel good' book.
