THE TWENTYSECOND CLIFFEHAVEN NOVEL BY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ELLIE DEAN

Cliffehaven, 1947

In the wake of heartbreaking loss, Roisin Reilly makes a promise to her granddaughter Bella that they will cross the Wye Valley and travel to Cliffehaven to find the family she left with no warning nearly fifty years ago.

As the pair embark upon their journey, there’s no telling who they will find – and whether they will be welcomed with open arms – when they get there.

Meanwhile Roisin’s estranged brother Ron has been drawn back into his own memories of the past – even in spite of his daughter-in-law Pauline going missing and his son Jim suffering as years spent fighting in Burma catch up with him.

The war may be over, but there are plenty of storms still to weather.

Will love be enough to hold the Reilly family together?
