A delightful read!
This is the first book I've read by this author, it won't be my last.
When a family tragedy befalls Aileen and her widowed mother, Gert, they are both consumed by guilt, blaming themselves for having been too distracted to prevent Aileen's three-year-old brother from drowning.
The woman who they blamed for causing the distraction, a paying guest called Lillian, soon becomes a close friend and confidant, after opening up about her own loss from fifty years ago.
The story continues with other tales of love, loss, and regret, with a beautiful love story enfolding as the story develops.
Set in the seventies, I could relate to the book, having grown-up during the sixties and seventies.
All in all, this is a delightful story, and one which I highly recommend. Five stars.
