AN EMOTIONAL AND UPLIFTING NOVEL FROM THE FRENCH MARIAN KEYES FOR FANS OF RUTH HOGAN, VERONICA HENRY AND SARAH MORGAN
Emma and Agathe are sisters. They grew up together yet are very different. Agathe, the youngest, messy, and ardent, has always taken up all the space in the bath, in the bedroom, and in Emma's heart.
After five years of unexplained silence, Emma arranges to meet Agathe in the family’s holiday home. After their beloved grandmother passed away, the place must be emptied, and the memories revisited.
The two sisters have a week to tell each other everything and make up for the time they spent apart. Will they be able to fix the past in the beauty of the summer in the Basque Country, where their childhood is knocking at the door?
