Product Information

Jane is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and has a first class honours degree in creative writing. She becomes fascinated with finding out more about the cottage’s history and the young woman in the picture with whom she feels an affinity – and Stella’s story then unfolds in parallel to her own, both sad and disturbing, going backwards through her life to the point where she was happy and looking forward to her new life. Stella's story is very, very hard to read and my heart literally broke for her, but it was nonetheless my favourite part and it gave the book an incredible depth, even though a very sad one.

The author is new to me and I'm impressed by how smooth the narrative is as it alternates between the past and the present.Her strength and resilience felt like a true representation of women who came of age during World War II. I've only read one of Jane's other books in the past, The Cottage Escape, and I'll be honest it wasn't my favourite read (although it certainly wasn't bad). A second storyline is presented, where a young woman, 50 years prior, is trying to escape an abuse relationship.
