An intimate, gripping story of friendship, marriage and the tragedy of loss. A true literary page-turner. An arresting first novel about a woman who, on her deathbed, recalls the fateful summer of 1936, a summer that forever changed her life. Isobel has been wife, mother, hatmaker. At the end of her long life she is simply herself, with one last story to tell her only surviving child.
