This was a lovely story of love, heartbreak and finding yourself. The characters all had their fair share of all of the above in a story set between the Cotswolds and Australia. 
It is a dual timeline story that travels between Clara in the mid sixties and Meredith in the early 2000s. 
I guessed the outcome very early on in the piece and enjoyed the well written telling of it in my first read from author Rachel Burton. 
Thanks to Rachel, Netgalley and her publishers for a copy to read. All views and opinions are my own .
