Raffaella Barker's captivating novel about love, the countryside, and an invisible woman starting to catch sight of herself again. Laura Sale is becoming increasingly frustrated by the relentless demands of her life as partner of a famous conceptual artist and mother to teenage twins. As Inigo grows ever more successful in London, Laura longs for the rural Norfolk of her childhood, and a chance meeting with her first love is the catalyst she needs. Staying in the cottage she remembers from long-ago holidays, Laura confronts old ghosts, ferrets, a goat and a collapsing relationship as she begins a new stage of her life - one lit with possibilities.

Review:

Touching, honest and often very funny ... Art camouflaged by lightness of touch and a seemingly effortless eye for dialogue * Tatler * She writes beautifully ... Combining, with apparent ease, emotion and admirable precision * Independent on Sunday * I love Raffaella Barker's books - so funny and acerbic * Maggie O'Farrell * A light touch and a way with words that leaves you gasping ... With laughter as much as anything * Marie Claire *
