From the New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake comes a stunningly beautiful tale about love, family and seeking a new life in the aftermath of tragedy Ebby Freeman's life has always been marked with tragedy. First, the death of her brother Baz, killed in an anonymous armed robbery when they were teenagers. Then her perfect fiance Henry deserting her on the day of their wedding, without an explanation. When Ebby arrives in a sleepy French village, she believes she's found an opportunity for healing and anonymity. Until Henry appears, staying at the neighbouring property with his beautiful new girlfriend in tow. It's the worst situation that Ebby can imagine. But might it give her a chance to piece together the fragments of her past - and finally embrace her future?
