Heartwarming, intricate, and empathetic, Sally Page has given us a treasure of a novel. You’ll love all the characters, and yes, there’s even a great dog. Completely delightful and warm.”
author of The Library of Lost and Found Phaedra Patrick
A treasure of a book. Beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt with a cornucopia of characters you’ll love spending time with.”
author of The Bookshop of Second Chances Jackie Fraser
This is a deceptively ‘gentle’ story that addresses complex issues with a light touch. It’s about the importance of stories and how we sometimes tell the wrong ones about ourselves, even when we’re careful not to do that about other people. And it’s also about friendship, and how important making families is. You don’t need to be related to people to make a family, and sometimes it’s best if you’re not. I loved Janice (I adore competent protagonists and really liked her ability to do pretty much anything she turns her hand to) and was rooting for her throughout. Plus there’s a foul-mouthed fox terrier that’s one of the best ‘dog characters’ I’ve read recently.”
Sunday Times (London) bestselling author Katie Fforde
