Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

"charming; quirky; magical" Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat "Lovekin's prose is full of beautifully strange poetry." Rebecca Mascull, author of The Visitors & Song of the Sea Maid. Nothing hurts like not knowing who you are. Cadi is angry at not being allowed to ask about her father and her sister - she wants to know who she is. Her mother Violet believes she can control her terrors only by refusing to talk about them. And Lili, Cadi’s aunt, is stuck in the middle. In a world of hauntings and magic, in a small village where it rains all August, this summer the secrets and the ghosts are finally waking up, and none of the Hopkins women will be able to escape them. A beautiful, hopeful first novel of old regrets and new loves, perfect summer reading.
