Family secrets and lies threaten one woman’s upcoming nuptials in this suspenseful turn-of-the-century novel from the author of The Boat House.

Canterbury, 1900. Olivia Fratton will scream if she hears the words “Isabel’s wedding” one more time; she’s struggling to cope with her little sister’s demands on their limited budget. But Olivia is not the only Fratton with worries: Isabel; older brother Theo; and the “golden boy” of the family, Luke, all have their own troubles. But these pale into insignificance when a letter is delivered from someone none of the family ever expected to hear from again …
