The poignant new novel from this well-loved author
Marcia Willett's early life was devoted to the ballet, but her
dreams of becoming a ballerina ended when she grew out of the
classical proportions required. She had always loved books, and a
family crisis made her take up a new career as a novelist - a
decision she has never regretted. She lives in a beautiful and wild
part of Devon where she loves to be visited by her son and his
young family.
