Some questions you always put off until it’s too late…Leila Gill, in her sixties and newly remarried after being single for most of her life, is finally coming to terms with assimilating her new identity. But when unpacking the last of the storage boxes from the home she once shared with her mother, Greer, she unearths something that blows apart her new-found sense of ‘roots’, and reveals a mystery that haunts her long after the trail has gone cold.What did happen to Flora, the woman who was her biological grandmother? And why did Greer seem to have no memory of her?Leila is left with questions to which it seems she’ll never find an answer.
I'm a former lecturer & journalist, now (almost) a full-time writer. I was born in Glasgow, and have lived in Scotland for most of my life - though I also spent some time living in the west of Ireland (just west of Galway) and in Aberystwyth, Wales. I now live in the beautiful region of Galloway. My favourite authors include Sally Vickers, William Boyd, Kate Atkinson, Maggie O'Farrell & Penelope Fitzgerald.
