All Eleanor Finch wanted was to get through the week.
The days between Christmas and New Year have never been kind to her — too quiet, too reflective, too full of questions she’d rather not answer. But when a delayed train leaves her stranded in Winterbourne Cove, a small coastal village wrapped in winter calm, Eleanor finds herself with something she hasn’t had in a long time.
Time to walk by the sea. Time to sit by a fire and listen. Time to stop pretending she knows what comes next.
As the village gently draws her in — through shared meals, familiar faces, and the unexpected company of a fellow traveller who wasn’t meant to be there either — Eleanor begins to wonder if this accidental detour might be exactly what she needed.
With its quiet charm, soft humour, and a light romance that unfolds at its own unhurried pace, The Week Between is a cosy winter escape about fresh starts, human connection, and the small moments that change everything.
Perfect for readers looking for feel-good fiction and an uplifting read to savour on cold winter nights.
