Description

The beautiful old Bath House in Ballytokeep has lain empty and abandoned for decades. For devoted pensioners Archie and Iris, it holds too many conflicting memories β sometimes it's better to leave the past where it belongs.

Inspired, she moves to Ballytokeep, leaving behind her past heartache β but can you ever escape your past or your destiny?
A bittersweet story of love, loss and life, from the number one bestselling author of The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club. Perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan and Patricia Scanlan.
