Marcia Willett

    6 agosto 1945

    Marcia Willett intraprese la carriera di scrittrice a cinquant'anni, ma trovò presto la sua nicchia nella letteratura. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da una profonda intuizione nelle relazioni umane, esplorando le complessità dei legami familiari e le svolte della vita. Willett ritrae i suoi personaggi e i loro mondi con sensibilità, spesso ambientati in pittoreschi scenari rurali che conferiscono alle sue storie un'atmosfera unica. Il suo stile è sottile e penetrante, pieno di empatia e comprensione della natura umana.

      "After the death of her father, El moves into his home just outside Tavistock in Devon. Fresh out of university and dangling on the precipice of adulthood she questions what it is she really wants from life. Although her childhood friend, Will, is there to help her through her grief she soon realises there were things her father was hiding from her ... Jules is also mourning Martin, but they thought best to keep their relationship secret, she must now grieve entirely alone. All she has to remember her love are the memories of their time spent at a beautiful community garden and teashop nearby. The Garden House is where they met, fell in love and where their secret affair will inevitably be uncovered. As El and Will begin to piece together her father's secrets they bring them closer and closer to both Jules and a truth that is difficult to face."--Publisher

      It has been a house of secrets for over sixty years - Bridge House on the edge of Exmoor, beautiful and remote, a wild place where the sound of the rushing stream is ever present. Clio is staying there with her godmother Hester, reliving happy childhood memories. Jonah, visiting the area, chances upon the house where his mother stayed as a child during the fevered atmosphere of the second world war, a time when passions ran high. They don't yet know it, but their histories are inextricably linked. Hester knows the truth, but how much should she tell them? What would be gained by raking over the past? As the young couple become closer, Hester realises that they must know the truth, before it is too late.
