About this listen

THE POIGNANT AND UNFORGETTABLE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF FOUND IN A BOOKSHOP AND LOST FOR WORDS

Dear Ms Blythe

We are dealing with an estate of which you may be a beneficiary.

Please send any documents in your possession that relate to your birth and adoption.

September is at her wits' end. There's never enough money to support her boyfriend and herself. September has nothing to look forward to.

Then the letter comes. September has inherited a house from a great-aunt she never knew she had. It would make sense to sell it. But when sees the place - the orange gate, the garden, the tree, the bumblebee door knocker - she doesn't want to let it go. Not yet. Then the members of the book club arrive, and she begins to discover the story of the family she didn't know. And to make new friends.

September feels safe here. But money alone can't bring contentment. September is just at the start of a journey full of surprises, shocks - and opportunities, if she's brave enough . . .

'So assured and gentle, full of compassion and replete with astute observations of human nature and behaviour' Carys Bray

'Delightful and original' Katie Fforde
