About this listen

Lose yourself in the Cornish countryside with this gorgeous new novel from the Richard and Judy Book Club champion. If you love Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, you'll adore Roseland.

__________

The summers spent at Roseland, the sprawling ancestral home of her best friend, Eloise, were among the happiest of Cathy's life. Tucked away on the Cornish coastline and brimming with history, Roseland seemed to belong to another century.

Cathy has barely been back since Eloise's death a decade ago. So she is shocked when Jack, the love of Eloise's life and father of her children, announces that he is getting married, and that the wedding will take place at Roseland.

As Cathy and Eloise's family gather at the house for the first time in years, long buried secrets and resentments come to the surface. Nobody likes Jack's new bride, but is she really the imposter everybody claims, or are they merely haunted by memories of Eloise? And how can Cathy look to the future, when the past refuses to let go?

Utterly captivating and beautifully told, with echoes of du Maurier's Rebecca, this is the gorgeous new novel from the bestselling book-club champion.

Critic reviews

Utterly captivating (ADELE PARKS)
There's nothing not to love about this book with its elegance of storytelling and wonderful setting of Cornwall. I especially loved the reworking of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, one of my all time favourites. (SUSAN LEWIS)
Evocative, enthralling and full of human insight (CELIA WALDEN, author of Payday)

After reading Eloise it was lovely reading this follow on book... I'll definitely listen to more of Judy's books.

An awful read from start to finish. Unnecessarily descriptive, predictable and a bad copy of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
