Rosie returning to Devon from her job in Andalusia is filled with remorse. Her mother has passed away and she feels she has let her mother down. Driftwood House a living memory of her mother remains but she discovers that her mother was not actually the owner of the property and that it reverts to the Eppings who have given her a month to clear the property. Clearing out her mother's effects, Rosie comes across documents which now throw up a greater mystery. Who was the mysterious J in her mother's life who was obviously the great love of her life. Rosie now feels that she hardly knew her mother, and now even her father seems a rather distant figure for her. Unravelling the mystery of her mother's past and her future, Rosie is also faced with the unravelling of her love life with her boyfriend returning to Devon only with an eye to the main chance of cashing in on her inheritance! The setting of Devon was glorious. It adds so much to the story when the setting is so very well described. I enjoyed the story and the setting very much.

  1. This sounds really good. Finding out things you never knew about you parents after they are gone could be really good or really bad.
