Rewind back to WW2 and Martha is an evacuee coming to stay in Cornwall. We see her chosen by Violet to live in Cliff House. Fast forward to 2008 and we are suddenly looking at two mothers of new babies - one being rude to the other when her baby starts digging in the flower bed!
As you can see, the book jumps all over the place, and you the reader need to keep your wits about you as you tie each character together. The evacuee is the old lady in the cottage. The baby is Josie the best friend of Ari. It is all a bit complicated but eventually you start to see what is happening..
There are two deaths...one is a suicide and one a murder. There is a complicated friendship between Ari and Clem, the very rich, snobby great granddaughter of Martha who owns Cliff House. There is a beautiful friendship between Ari and Martha as they share a love of Cliff House itself and the ancient dresses she has kept. There is also romance between Ari and Rik despite a rocky start and LGBT romance between Ari's friend Josie and Rik's sister Meg. And finally, there is the reading of a will where Cliff House is left to who? (After the mystery of the flower beds has been sorted).… (mer)
