From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of
three siblings and a suitcase full of cash. Will the unexpected
windfall tear them apart? When their father dies unexpectedly,
siblings Max, Ellie and Nathan can't even contemplate emptying his
house-not least because he spent his last decade curating what
feels like a museum to his polished public image. So it is Max's
wife, Caroline, who finds the suitcase under a bed... A suitcase
stuffed full of an awful lot of cash. The source of the money is a
mystery to them all, and each has a strong opinion about what to do
with it. Ellie and her husband James have an expensive lifestyle to
maintain and could do with their share of the windfall-James in
particular, for reasons he doesn't dare reveal. Nathan can't be
trusted with money, as the others all know; he's desperate to get
his hands on some (or all) of the cash. But Caroline is the one
guarding the suitcase, and she's insisting to Max that they take it
to the police. The three siblings have always been close. But now,
with this money from nowhere threatening to rewrite what they
thought they knew about their father and their family, nothing
seems certain. Could it really tear them apart?
In this poignant novel from the bestselling author of Where the
Story Starts, an extraordinary final wish brings five lives
together forever. Just turned eighteen, Romany is on the cusp of
taking her first steps into adulthood when tragedy strikes, and she
finds herself suddenly alone without her mother, Angie, the only
parent she has ever known. In her final letter, Angie has charged
her four closest friends with guiding Romany through her last year
of school-but is there an ulterior motive to her unusual dying
wish? Each of the four guardians possesses an outlook on life that
Angie wants to give her daughter as a legacy. Three of them have
known each other since university: the eternally nomadic and
exotically named Tiger; the shy and practical Leon with his
untapped musical genius; and Maggie, a brilliant lawyer who doesn't
know her own abilities. But the fourth guardian is a mystery to the
others: they've never even heard of former model Hope before... As
the guardians reflect on their friendship with Angie, it becomes
apparent that this unusual arrangement is as much about them as it
is about Romany. Navigating their grief individually and as a
group, what will all five of them learn about themselves, their
pasts-and the woman who's brought them all together?
A sudden departure. A story decades in the making. The chaotic but
happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray
when Cecily—whose children can’t remember her ever being
remotely spontaneous—disappears to a Greek island with no warning
or explanation. Her reasons for doing something so out of character
are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive
Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily.
What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia? But Cecily
has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago—one
that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns,
she’ll have to tell them the truth. Will Cecily be able to hold
her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she
discover that she’s not the only one with a story to tell?
Shortlisted for the RNA's Goldsboro Books Contemporary Romantic
Novel Award. A strange encounter. An unlikely friendship. But will
it survive when they both know the truth? As single mother Leah
struggles to get her children ready one morning, the doorbell
rings. Standing on the doorstep of their terraced house in Whitley
Bay is a well-dressed stranger, Clio, who feels an emotional tie to
the house that she can't explain. The story should end there, but a
long-buried secret is already on its way to the surface? In some
ways the two women couldn't be more different: Leah's a mother of
two and the daughter of a barmaid; Clio's a perennially single
heiress to her baroness mother's estate. But where Leah lacks
grown-up company, Clio lacks any experience of the real world, and
the unlikely friendship sparked by their curious first meeting
offers both of them a welcome respite from the routine of their
lives. It is a friendship that will answer questions neither of
them knew to ask, uncovering secret stories from the past that have
stayed hidden for decades. But will it also be the catalyst for
them to finally feel that they belong?
A dying wish. A devastating secret. Should the truth really stay
buried? The four Bliss siblings have a loving but complicated bond,
but when their mother, Dorothy, dies seemingly without a will, this
relationship is put to the test. As the mourning siblings try to
make sense of the situation, one of them is caught with a secret:
before she died, Dorothy entrusted her favourite daughter with her
will and a letter-and told her to destroy them both. Of course it
was Anna their mother turned to for this mission. Miriam, the
eldest, is far too sensible; Sebastian, the baby, too sensitive;
and Clare, the middle child, has always been too rebellious to rely
on, and long ago cut herself out of her siblings' lives. But what
Anna finds in the documents could change everything. Do the other
siblings not deserve to know what it is about them that their
mother was so desperate to hide? And if it is revealed, will the
Bliss family ever be the same again?
A secret lies buried at the heart of her family-but it can't stay
hidden forever. When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards
in the attic, their contents make her question everything she
thought she knew. The story she pieces together is confusing and
unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But
who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into
Alzheimer's and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will
never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear,
though: someone knows more than they're letting on. Torn between
loyalty to her family and dread of what she might find, Cara digs
into the early years of her parents' troubled marriage, hunting
down long-lost relatives who might help unravel the mystery. But
the picture that begins to emerge is not at all the one she'd
expected-because as she soon discovers, lies have a habit of
multiplying . . . Revised edition: This edition of Postcards from a
Stranger includes editorial revisions.
