Description
With a new introduction by Lorraine Kelly, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Island Swimmer
'This is Binchy at her best' - Mail on Sunday
'A brilliant storyteller' - Graham Norton
Ria and Marilyn have never met, but they're about to switch lives for the summer...
Ria Lynch lives in a big, warm, Victorian house on Tara Road, Dublin, where her life revolves around family and friends. Marilyn Vine lives thousands of miles away in a quiet, modern house in New England. After a terrible loss, she has closed herself off from the world.
Two more unlikely friends would be hard to find, but when each needs a place to escape to, a house exchange seems the ideal solution. Along with the borrowed houses come neighbours and friends, gossip and speculation, and Ria and Marilyn soon realise that swapping lives won't be the peaceful escape they'd been hoping for. Though it might turn out to be exactly the change they both needed.
