The Butterfly Room

From the author of the publishing phenomenon The Seven Sisters, a wonderful English family saga full of secrets, old loves and new opportunities.

Posy Montague is approaching her seventieth birthday. She still lives in the charming family home, Admiral House, amidst the magnificent Suffolk landscapes where her idyllic childhood was spent chasing butterflies with her father and where she raised her own children. But Posy knows she must make a difficult decision. Despite the memories it holds and the exquisite garden she has spent twenty-five years creating, the house is falling to pieces around her and Posy knows that the time has come to sell it.

It is then that Freddie, her first love, who abandoned her leaving her heartbroken, reappears. As she struggles to cope with the new problems her family faces, Posy is reluctant to trust Freddie's renewed attentions. Although she doesn't know it yet, Freddie harbors a devastating secret. And Admiral House too...
