'Fabulous, relaxing, page-turning, dream-inspiring' MIRANDA HART 'Exquisitely beautiful and so perceptive' JOANNA CANNON From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS The story of two people who have no idea how to fall in love... On the tiny island of Rokesby, Addie helps her mother run a women's retreat. Dreaming daily of escape, she consoles herself by swimming in the ocean that surrounds them. On the neighbouring island, joined to Rokesby by a bridge at low tide, Sol has sought refuge at a wind-swept prayer house, grieving both his mother's death and his father's devastating betrayal. Alone and anxious, he takes comfort in birdwatching, books and the sounds of the sea. Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people - until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Can they break free from past lessons in love to risk a better future together? From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS, this is a beautifully observed and life-affirming novel about finding yourself, and then allowing someone else to find you.

From the author of the Costa shortlisted debut, The Other Half of Augusta Hope, comes the story of one girl’s journey to find her birth mother, and her realisation that mothers – and family – can be discovered in the most unexpected of places…London, 1980s. Though she has a comfortable, privileged life, Eva Martínez-Green is deeply unhappy. The only child of an emotionally absent mother and a physically absent father, Eva has grown up in a cold, unloving house. But Eva is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why are there no baby pictures of her? Why do her parents avoid all questions about her early years?When her parents’ relationship crumbles, Eva begins looking for a different, better life: a proper family, a perfect mother, and, importantly, real love. Her desire to find where she belongs leads Eva on a journey spanning years and continents – and, along the way, she meets women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be, and who will change her life forever…

Julia ist ruhig und beständig, während Augusta aufgrund ihrer schwirrenden Gedanken und ihres ständigen Reisefiebers „Libelle“ genannt wird. Doch so verschieden Augusta und Julia auch sind, sie halten zusammen wie Pech und Schwefel. Bis Augusta ihre Schwester auf tragische Weise verliert. Augusta muss sich neu im Leben zurechtfinden, als ein Mensch, dem viel zu früh eine Hälfte abhandengekommen ist. Doch Augusta, die Libelle, breitet ihre Flügel aus …
