Summary

An unforgettable journey of discovery....

Federica is moved from Chile to Cornwall when her parents separate, and all she has left of the relationship she cherished with her father is a wooden box, which has a secret beauty hidden within. Swiftly embraced into the eccentric Appleby family, it isn’t long before Federica falls for her friend’s older brother, Sam, who barely notices the little girl until it is too late....

Years later, from the sanctuary of a seemingly perfect marriage, Federica embarks on a painful journey of self-discovery. Will she finally learn the true lesson of the butterfly box?

I enjoyed this novel

This was my first novel from Santa Montefiore, and was unsure what to expect. I was delightfully impressed.

Another fab story from Santa!

Another great story, although it took quite a while to get going. Perhaps not as good as other Santa books I have read. However, still a great listen.

A Beautiful Story Portrayed with Excellence

The voice over actress is very talented and enriches this wonderful story in its telling. I highly recommend this heartwarming story that also has gritty, adult parts in it.
