Where The Truth Lies (Paperback)

When Lily Westwood dies of cancer, her family are plunged into grief and despair. However, it is not only the loss of Lily which causes their desolation - it’s honouring her dying wish that her husband, William, and twin sister, Frith, leave the UK to raise her daughter, Plum, in Lily’s beloved South Africa. Together, William, Frith and Plum must fulfil Lily’s last wish and confront the challenges this presents to each of them.

William, broken and remorseful, buys North Wind Manor, a decaying Edwardian house, and buries his misery in trying to restore the property to its former glory. As the three become immersed in this project, it is clear that William’s obsession with hiding the rot and decay of the mansion mirror his desperation to conceal the misdeeds and wretchedness of his past.

Lily’s identical twin sister, Frith, resents her loss of freedom as she finds herself caring for William and Plum in a damp, gloomy house and a city alien to her. Increasingly she frets over the impact this will have on her spirit and career as an artist. With enormous courage, Frith tries to carve out an identity for herself as her future becomes increasingly tenuous.

Eleven-year old Plum, sensitive, bright, and imaginative falls in love with North Wind Manor at first sight. Upon finding a century-old diary written by the manor’s former occupant, Plum becomes enthralled by the intrigue and history of her new home, so much so, that it consumes her every waking thought until she begins to believe the diary’s author is a spirit inhabiting the manor.

This compelling story interweaves between past and present to explore the twisted dynamics of a family brought closer by sorrow, regret, mortality, love – and an understanding that the truth is not always simple.
