The irresistible new historical novel in the Cliffehaven series from the Sunday Times bestselling author, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court.
___________________________
Cliffehaven, 1947
In the wake of heartbreaking loss, Roisin Reilly makes a promise to her granddaughter Bella that they will cross the Wye Valley and travel to Cliffehaven to find the family she left with no warning nearly fifty years ago.
As the pair embark upon their journey, there’s no telling who they will find – and whether they will be welcomed with open arms – when they get there.
Meanwhile Roisin’s estranged brother Ron has been drawn back into his own memories of the past – even in spite of his daughter-in-law Pauline going missing and his son Jim suffering as years spent fighting in Burma catch up with him.
The war may be over, but there are plenty of storms still to weather.
Will love be enough to hold the Reilly family together?

Absolutely lovely
I loved this book, catching up with the characters from Cliffhaven and the Reilly family. I absolutely have loved reading all the books in this series but I am sad that this is the last book in this series. This book had the best ending to a final farewell. Thank you Ellie Dean for creating this series of books and making a lot of people enjoying them.

Wonderful Family Saga
I have read every book in this saga of the Reilly family at Beach View boarding house. The characters are lively and so likable. I have enjoyed each book in the series. I look forward to the newest one to be written.
