Rose Talisman is pinning it all on a fresh start.
Five years after her career as a therapist ended in one catastrophic instant, she is opening a retreat in Corfu. The understated, luxurious Villa Artemis is surrounded by wild pines and sea views.
Just six guests. One week. Time for Rose to help them face their secrets – and move forwards.
But Rose has staked everything on the retreat. It has to work – or she loses it all. And people’s secrets have a way of revealing themselves in ways no one expected.
Nobody’s past is staying hidden for long…
Will that include Rose’s, too?
'A triumph […] vivid and wise and uplifting' Marian Keyes
'This latest from [Cathy] is a cracker' Mail on Sunday
'[A] wise and calming novel […] And the Corfu setting is so beautifully evoked' Daily Mail
