  • A sudden departure. A story decades in the making.

    The chaotic but happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray when Cecily—whose children can’t remember her ever being remotely spontaneous—disappears to a Greek island with no warning or explanation.

    Her reasons for doing something so out of character are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily. What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia?

    But Cecily has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago—one that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns, she’ll have to tell them the truth.

    Will Cecily be able to hold her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she discover that she’s not the only one with a story to tell?

  • The author:
    Imogen Clark lives in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and children. Her first burning ambition was to be a solicitor, and so she read law at Manchester University and then worked for many years at a commercial law firm. After leaving her legal career behind to care for her four children, Imogen turned to her second love—books. She returned to university, studying part-time while the children were at school, and was awarded a BA in English literature with First Class Honours.

    Her first three novels, Postcards from a Stranger, The Thing about Clare and Where the Story Starts, all reached the Number 1 spot in the UK Kindle charts, and her books have also been Number 1 in Australia and Germany. She has been shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel Award 2020. She is also the author of a Christmas novella, Postcards at Christmas, which is a sequel to Postcards from a Stranger.

    Imogen loves sunshine and travel, and longs to live by the sea someday.

Just starting, Part Two, chapter 1.

Cecily goes to Greece to discover... something. We find how the family will manage during her abscence, especially the daughters are worried about the father, but I think he'll be allright.

Felicity seems to
be the one who is going to have more trouble, as she is so busy to take care of her son, Hugo, without her mother's help and a not very present husband. A cheating husband?

Well, it's not a thriller (something in the sinopsis made me think it would be one).

Is about family relations, feelings, decisions, mistakes and compensations.

I'm 50% done, and find very interesting the part of Cecily
at the "Home". What she feels in her state, how she sees the others, how she figures everything is going to turn out.
