Hugh loves the life there but his spirited and unconventional wife, Heavenly, finds it hard to fit into the whirl of endless parties and socialising. When Hugh is sent to Crete to sort out a problem, they stay in a rundown house owned by his family. Heavenly falls in love with the place and the people, and stays on when Hugh returns to his duties. As she tries to rebuild the ramshackle home, Heavenly makes firm friends with Anthi, a young woman from the village and Christos, the handsome and charismatic young builder. But the dark clouds of war are gathering and the island will become a crucible of violence and bloodshed in the days to come. For Heavenly, her friends and family, it will be the greatest test they have ever known. 388 pages.

Diana is the matriarch - a highly successful barrister and QC, she's the force that keeps everyone and everything together. Her sons Rafe, Aaron and Josh are in their mid-thirties when they each, in turn, get married. The arrival into the family of three very different women - Maddy, an American actress; Julia, lawyer with working-class roots and Niela, a young Somali refugee - upsets the carefully constructed balance of family life that Diana has worked so hard to maintain. There's a dreadful secret at the heart of the Keeler family and slowly, each of the women in her own way, begins to unravel what it is that Diana has kept hidden for so long.Touched with glamour and escapism, Lelsey Lokko's riveting new novel takes you right to the heart of a family secret. 442 pages.
