Description

Brilliantly written . . . I loved it. - Rosie Goodwin

Dover, 1939

At the heart of Dover's Market Square lies Castle's Cafe. A bustling establishment run by the formidable Nellie Castle and her six children.

Since the scandalous birth of her son ten years before, Marianne, Nellie's eldest daughter, has preferred to stay in the kitchen, hidden away from the scrutiny of the town gossips. Overcome with shame, Marianne has never revealed the name of Donny's father - not even to her own mother.

But with World War II just around the corner, Marianne's past catches up with her. And suddenly, the lives of the Castle family become a lot more complicated.

Will the secrets from her past destroy their future?
