Arethusa Clayton's dying wish is for her ashes to be scattered in a remote corner of Ireland; a desire that nobody in her family understands given that she has lived on the East Coast of America for years. But Arethusa's last request unlocks a mystery about her past that her daughter Faye is determined to solve. Poignant, romantic and populated by beautifully realised characters, Montefiore's latest is one of her very best.
The perfect summer read.
