The Secret Art of Forgiveness
by Louisa George
Living in a big city, means you can escape your past... Until Emily Forrester is called back to Little Duxbury, the chocolate-box English village where she grew up - though it was anything but idyllic for the tearaway teenager. Her estranged step-father, a former high-court judge, is unwell and her step-sisters need her help. It's just a week, Emily tells herself, but faced with the lies – and hard truths – that drove her to leave in the first place is difficult enough. Having to cope with a step-father (and the only parent she has left) who is so unlike the man she remembers pushes Emily's emotions in ways she hasn't been tested in years – since her mother's death. They say home is where the heart is – but by the end of the week, Emily isn't entirely sure which home that is. A beautiful and unforgettable romance that will have you laughing and crying.
