Book Description
“Tender and unflinching, a beautifully observed novel about familial love and stoicism in the face of heartbreak.”—Carys Bray, award-winning author of The Museum of You Maeve Maloney is a force to be reckoned with. Despite nearing 80, she keeps Sea View Lodge just as her parents did during Morecambe’s 1950s heyday. But now only her employees and regular guests recognize the tenderness and heartbreak hidden beneath her spikiness. Until, that is, Vincent shows up. Vincent is the last person Maeve wants to see. He is the only man alive to have known her twin sister, Edie. The nightingale to Maeve’s crow, the dawn to Maeve’s dusk, Edie would have set her sights on the stage—all things being equal. But, from birth, things never were. If only Maeve could confront the secret past she shares with Vincent, she might finally see what it means to love and be loved—a lesson that her exuberant yet inexplicable twin may have been trying to teach her all along. Stylist Magazine Top “Books to Read on a Staycation” “Funny, heartbreaking and truly remarkable.”—Susan Barker, New York Times bestselling author “I found the novel most poignant and tender in its depiction of disability, without a whiff of sentimentality . . . it crept under my skill and will stay there for a long time.”—Emma Henderson, Orange Prize-shortlisted author of Grace Williams Says It Loud “Amazing: fierce, intelligent, compassionate and deeply moving . . . an important and very beautiful book.”—Edward Hogan, Desmond Elliot Prize-winning author of Blackmoor “Fresh, poignant and unlike anything else.”—Jill Dawson, Whitbread and Orange Prize-shortlisted author of The Crime Writer
