Heartstrings and Hidden Pasts, EXSR198B

A bundle of four novels where comfort comes with a secret buried deeply within.

Rosanna Ley, Saffron Trail - From Cornwall to Marrakech, a grieving chef and a headstrong young photographer discover their families are linked. Vivid, fragrant escapism with a gentle mystery at its heart.

Santa Montefiore, The Italian Matchmaker - A London financier seeks peace at his parents’ palazzo on the Amalfi coast and finds a house with a past. Part romance, part haunting, all Amalfi sunlight.

Kristin Hannah, Between Sisters - A Seattle divorce lawyer and her younger sister, a single mother, are thrown together by a hastily planned wedding. Warm and funny, with a finale built to make you cry.

Rita Bradshaw, Winter Love Song - From a northern travelling fair in 1918 to wartime London, singer Bonnie Lindsay must decide whether happiness is still possible. A big-hearted saga of loss and love.
