A Stone's Throw by Fiona Shaw
What if following your heart takes you somewhere you just can't bear to go? Set in England and Africa, and opening during World War Two, this novel is about family, about love, about duty. It is about the people we miss and the secrets we keep. Above all though, it's about the choices we make - and those we don't.
