The unputdownable, tear-jerking new novel from Freya North. Frankie Shaw is a single mum in pursuit of a fresh start. Moving from London to a small town in Norfolk with her two teenage kids will do them all good, she thinks, with dreams of seaside life filling her head. But the reality is harsher -- isolated and struggling with writer's block, Frankie regrets her decision to move her family to a run-down town that sits uneasily alongside second homes and expensive boutiques. When she meets Scott, a wary Canadian on a work trip, it seems to be a turning point -- the chance of a fresh start. But fate has a twist in store and the real turning point comes when tragedy strikes. A poignant, engrossing tearjerker, thoughtful and wise on modern family life, on the whims of fate and the importance of seizing happiness with both hands.
