A compelling and heartbreaking tale of lost love, family secrets and those little moments that can change your life for ever.

Returning to the wild Cornish coast for the funeral of her beloved grandmother, Natasha has no idea of how things are about to change. This trip reunites her with her large and complicated family for perhaps the last time: Summercove, her grandparents’ beautiful house by the sea, is being sold. With it go a generation of memories and the key to the death, many years ago, of fifteen-year-old Cecily, her aunt, a tragedy that no one ever discusses.

When she finds the opening pages of Cecily’s diary, written the summer she died, Natasha discovers the family she idealised has secrets that have long been buried. But where is the rest of the diary?

Back in London, trying to rebuild her own life, Natasha is haunted by Cecily's writing and the tragic tale of love, rivalry and heartbreak promised in those scant pages. She has to know what happened, the summer her aunt died. And so she makes some life-changing decisions – and in the process finds out that a second chance at love might be possible…

Really enjoyed this audiobook, interesting story with diverse characters. The narrators were good apart from the the young men’s voices in the 1963 part (they were a bit irritating) but overall a great book

Great story

The first few chapters are quite bizarre. Terrible accents but it gets a lot better.

don't be put off by the first few chapters

I did enjoy this book.
I thought the two narrators were excellent and very well read.
I did find this a good story with interesting characters, however I found it to be quite depressive. There was so much negativity. I don't want to ruin it for future readers by disclosing too much but I found the topics to cover mainly negative subjects. I.e death, divorce, breakdown of family, her relationship with her mother, her financial situation, infidelity etc.... I am glad I didn't listen to it on holiday as a 'happy' read.
So although it was well written it was too negative for me personally. Hope this review is helpful.

Good book but quite depressing.

the younger Guy in the story sounds like he is a very old man with chronic laryngitis

This story just makes you feel good. It's sad in parts but it feels human. Thoroughly recommend this book. As always you want to shout at the characters for not communicating but then it wouldn't be a good story if they did it at the beginning

Heartwarming
