PRAISE FOR KATE GLANVILLE:

'Poignant, warm, and unpredictable.' JULIE COHEN

It's hard to run away from your darkest secrets...

When Phoebe's married lover dies in a car accident, she dare not openly express her grief for fear of their affair being found out.

Heartbroken, she leaves her life in England to search out the old boathouse bequeathed to her by her Irish grandmother. Enthralled by the stunning scenery of the West Coast of Ireland, she soon finds herself swept up by life in the nearby village of Carraigmore.

When she discovers a collection of her grandmother's old diaries hidden beneath the boat house floorboards, she becomes immersed in a story of family scandal, repressed sexuality and a passionate affair between her grandmother and a young Irish artist.

As Phoebe tries to piece together the truth about her grandmother's past, she begins to realise that the repercussions of what happened all those years before shaped not only her own life, but the lives of those in the small community around her. With many questions unanswered Phoebe sets out to find out more, but it seems that no one in Carraigmore is telling her the truth - it seems she's not the only one with something to hide...

A heart-warming exploration of love, loss and secrets.
