The Night in Question

Florence Butterfield has a secret.

She's kept it for 70 years. She's travelled the world, fallen in love, and grown and changed in ways she never could have imagined. But she's never told a soul.

Until one midsummer's night, something happens. Something so terrible and unexpected that it changes everything for Florrie. And perhaps, at last, her long-buried secret will finally see the light of day . . .

Our octogenarian heroine’s determination to investigate a violent crime on her doorstep, leads her to reflect on her colourful past of love and loss, in this wonderfully warm and involving page-turner

Clare Chambers, Sunday Times bestselling author of Small Pleasures
