Another Heartbeat in the House by Kate Beaufoy
When Edie Chadwick travels to Ireland to close up her uncle's lakeside lodge, it's as much to escape the burden of guilt she's carrying as to break loose from the smart set of 1930's London. The old house is full of memories - not just her own, but those of a woman whose story has been left to gather dust in a chest in the attic.
With a marvellously evocative setting, strong and believable lead characters and a pacey plot, Another Heartbeat in the House is a great read* Liz Trenow *
A delightful story, rich, engrossing and vividly told * Rachel Hore *
A compelling, atmospheric story brimming with period detail about two feisty, independent heroines who will steal your heart. * Cathy Kelly *
Sweeps you away to an Ireland of the past and keeps you utterly enthralled. * Marian Keyes *
Everything is alive in Kate Beaufoy's new novel: the slang of a former era rings authentically, a house has a personality, a dog has a voice. If you're looking for an absorbing, delicious well-told tale in which to lose yourself, this is it. * Evening Herald *
