Publisher's summary

A forgotten house and a secret hidden for a century…

'Wonderfully evocative’ Judy Finnigan

'An absolute delight!' Hazel Gaynor

‘Wonderful escapism’ Tracy Rees

’A lovely story' Erica James

‘Gloriously rich’ Rachel Hore

‘Sublime storytelling’ Cathy Bramley

‘Emotional’ Kate Ryder

Following the breakdown of her marriage, Theo has bought a tumbledown cottage on the banks of the river Tamar which divides Cornwall and Devon. The peace and tranquillity of Boatman’s Cottage, nestled by the water, is just what she needs to heal.

Yet soon after her arrival, Theo discovers a stash of hidden letters tied with a ribbon, untouched for more than a century. The letters – sent from the battlefields of France during WW1 – tell of a young servant from the nearby manor house, Abbotswood, and his love for a woman he was destined to lose.

As she begins to bring Boatman’s Cottage and its gardens back to life, Theo pieces together a story of star-crossed lovers played out against the river, while finding her own new path to happiness.

The River Between Us beautifully explores the mystery and secrets of a long-forgotten love affair, and will be loved by fans of Kate Morton.

A very good story.

A very good story, although admittedly, hard to keep the family tree in order. Still worth the time.

Wonderful Story of Romance & Sacrifice!

I loved this book so much. The hops from the present to the past brought everything together. A love story and a story of life and history and family. I cried my eyes out, but in a good way. I fell in love with all of the characters. You’ll love this book. A❤️Z

Enduring Love and Courage

One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. Excellent narration. Beautiful story. Strong relationships. Mystery. I couldn’t wait for the finish and the ending was quite satisfying and worth the wait.

Wonderful Narration

As a child, I used to rewatch scenes of Lucy Scott playing Charlotte Lucas in the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice because I loved her voice. I downloaded this book for a cross-country flight and was shocked to hear Charlotte Lucas narrating! I had no idea Lucy Scott narrated books! I will be listening to many more!
