The Letter/Hilary Boyd

'I just thought you should know who you're married to . . .' Romy and Michael had it all. 30 years of marriage, two wonderful sons and a beautiful home. Until a letter arrives containing a shocking accusation, and everything falls apart. Fleeing to an idyllic countryside village to find time to think, Romy finds herself drawn to Finch, a handsome stranger with a tragic past. Is this a chance to start again? But then the phone rings: Michael is in hospital. He says he needs her help . . 'Boyd is as canny as Joanna Trollope at observing family life - and better than Trollope at jokes' Daily Mail 'Poignant, well observed and wonderfully written, this is a bit of a heart-string puller' Closer 'I was ripping through this book . . . addictive' Evening Standard
