Summary

The moving, life-affirming and poignant story of friendship, love and loss, for fans of Victoria Hislop and Joanna Trollope.

One phone call can change everything . . .

Marnie's life is turned upside down when a sudden phone call summons her back to the Scottish Highlands, and to the past she has tried to escape.

Ralph, Marnie and Oliver were once so close, but it's been years since they were all together.

But now Ralph is ill, and so they all meet again to spend the precious days that he has left with each other.

And as they reminisce, Marnie is taken back to the summer years ago when everything changed between them and heartbreak and desire broke up their group.

Will Ralph have the chance to say what needs to be said before it's too late?

And can they put the devastating events of twenty years ago to rest and rekindle the intimacy they once shared?

About the author

Nicci Gerrard

Nicci Gerrard is a writer and campaigner, a celebrated novelist and recipient of the 2016 Orwell Prize for Journalism 'Exposing Britain's Social Evils'. This work grew out of her father's death from dementia in 2014 and her belief that the disease, its impact on individuals, families and wider society, needs light thrown upon it in order to improve the experience and support of those affected.

Nicci Gerrard is also co-founder of John's Campaign, named after her father, which has campaigned to give carers of those with dementia the same rights as parents of children to accompany them in hospital. Recognised by NHS policy makers, by charities, by nurses and doctors and carers, almost every hospital across the U.K. has now signed up.
