Summary
A gripping book club novel about forbidden love, friendship, and family secrets in a time of war. Perfect for fans of The Letter by Kathryn Hughes, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
What if keeping your loved ones safe meant never seeing them again?
Canada, present day
When Martha’s beloved father dies, he leaves her two things: a mysterious stash of letters to an English woman named "Catkins" and directions to a beach hut in the English seaside town of Wells-Next-the-Sea. Martha is at a painful crossroads in her own life and seizes this chance for a trip to England - to discover more about her family’s past and the identity of her father’s secret correspondent.
Norfolk, 1940
Sylvia’s husband, Howard, has gone off to war, and she is struggling to raise her two children alone. Her only solace is her beach hut in Wells and her friendship with Connie, a woman she meets on the beach. The two women form a bond that will last a lifetime, and Sylvia tells Connie something that no one else knows: about a secret lover...and a child.
But the tragedy of war brings heartbreaking choices. And a promise made between the two women will echo down the years and could change everything for Martha....

Great book and wonderful narration
Really enjoyed this book. Great characters and enough suspense to keep me hooked. The narrator was fantastic. Perfect accents, great clarity and will definitely look for other books narrated by her. Altogether a great read, and one which I would recommend.

Excellent
I loved this book. It was full of twists and turns. I know Wells, I imagined myself there with them. This is surely what a good book is all about

good story but too much detail
Found this really difficult to get into .Would have liked more character interaction and less description .This made what was a good storyline drag and i found myself skipping pages just to get some dialogue .Overall a good story with a twist that was easily spotted

Great read
A new author to me but a great book. I loved the two adjoining stories. I wanted to keep listening to the audio till the very end. I will for sure be looking up more of this authors books.

Very disappointing
I was looking forward to this book,which I found was really disappointing . The first quarter was boring, then I found quite interesting so I though it was going to pick up. Then it got stupidly complicated, very unbelievable , and ended with I think a a bit of the story tell. I wish I hadn't bothered reading it through,just a waste of time. It could have a good story but was really so silly
