Omschrijving

The Promise

On an island in the English Channel, a secret is waiting to be unearthed...

When Isabel arrives on the Isle of Wight to fulfil a dying woman's final wish, she's a lost soul—drifting and unsure of what comes next. But the windswept village she finds herself in holds secrets of its own.

In 1944, young Constance Downer's world is torn apart when war crashes into her life. With everything she loves gone, all she has left is a leather-bound book—passed down by the last woman accused of witchcraft on the island. Through the pages of that forgotten apothecary's journal, Constance begins to rebuild her shattered life—until Isabel's arrival decades later stirs wounds that never truly healed. As past and present entwine, Isabel must confront the legacy of that promise—and discovers that some promises are powerful enough to heal the pain of a lifetime.

The Letter

Veronica and Gabe met as children, and by the time they were teenagers, they knew they'd be together forever.

But twenty years later, Veronica's life hasn't turned out the way she imagined. Divorced, with moody teenage sons, a needy sister, and a mother in a care home, she's tying herself in knots trying to be everything to everyone. And all the while, she's carrying a secret that haunts her.

On the Isle of Wight, Isabel has finally found happiness—but there's still a part of her that feels incomplete. She knows that if she's ever going to feel whole, she must reach out and uncover the missing piece of her past.

When a letter arrives, Veronica's world is shaken. The past she's kept buried is about to collide with the present, and it's time to tell the truth. But she's not the only one with something to hide…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Michelle has a lovely style, engaging, individual characters with great voices who are comic and charming (reminds me of Marian Keyes). I loved this book.' Helen Falconer, Author the Changeling series.
