About this listen

A new emotional and gritty drama from the best-selling author of The Throwaway Children.

After her mother's death, 20-year-old Sophie Ross is left orphaned, with only her erstwhile nursemaid and faithful friend, Hannah, for company. Penniless and with little chance of an income, she looks for work as a governess in London to avoid destitution.

But unbeknownst to Sophie, her mother instructed Hannah to post a letter to Trescadinnick House in Cornwall upon her death. The letter will be the catalyst that changes Sophie's life forever as she learns of her mother's doomed romance and family she left behind in Cornwall.

The Penvarrow family welcomes Sophie into their fold, but the new life she's built is threatened by secrets and lies that soon come to light....

She had true talent with her writing to capture the audience to want to go right through to the end. Wondering what happens to the characters. Thank you Diney

I've read most of this authors books now, and I love them all but this one has to be my favourite I think! I love all of the characters and their relationships between them. It's a must read if you enjoy this author! The narrator is very good at portraying the different characters too.

Probably my favourite book by this author!
