Review
In 1919 Emeline Vale is trying to forget her demons by
taking a lethal cocktail of medication. Her family are trying to get her
committed and she is trying to do everything she can to get out of their grip.
Whilst on a train journey to what she can only presume is an asylum, she
decides to make a run for it, with near fatal consequences.
Meanwhile in the 1969, trainee Solicitor Bill Perch is
asked to find out if Emeline is still alive so that the sale of the family
home can go ahead to make way for a holiday camp.
Whilst Bill is looking through documents and remnants from
the past, he comes across a diary written by Emeline. Will this reveal what
really happened to her all those years ago?......
I really enjoyed the
alternating chapters from 1919 to 1969. It was such a lovely, feelgood book and
you couldn’t help feeling sorry for Emeline. She certainly got under Bill
Perch’s skin and he just had to find out what happened to her, even if it
meant crossing the channel to find out.
What a lovely read and can’t wait to read more from this
author.
