Publisher's summary

A family torn apart by secrets. Love is the only way forward.

WINNER of Golden Crown Literary Society (Goldie) for Historical Fiction 2022.

Finalist for Debut Novel.

Maud Heaston has been in love with Beatrice Williams since they first met in 1939. They’ve been through hell and back; family, careers, and secrets have threatened to tear them apart, but their love has endured it all. Until now. Old age and illness have forced them into separate nursing homes and the family Maud trusted to take care of them are only out for themselves.

Hannah Jones is trying to put her past behind her and find her place in the world. Midway through a doctorate and living with Suki, the woman she’d like to be more than just friends with, the last thing she needs is Gammy, her interfering great aunt, back in her life. Though Gammy took Hannah in when her mother died, her overbearing nature and constant criticisms forced them apart. Now they barely speak.

Maud needs Hannah’s help to be reunited with the love of her life. Hannah needs Suki to take a chance on love. Can a reconciliation between Maud and Hannah free them both to be with the women they love or will the past destroy their future?

I was very pleasantly surprised.

This book is not a genre I am usually darn to. I am so glad I read it. It turned out to be a wonderful story, very well written and with fully developed characters. I love this book, and very likely will read it again. Thank you E.V. Bancroft!

Heartwarming

What a lovely book. There are so very many sensitive topics covered in this story and they were all handled adeptly. The narrator has a lovely voice and had to cover a multitude of characters which she handled well. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
