Like the photographs in the story, each scene is captured in all its beauty in this tale of two broken hearts, united by a shared grief and struggling to find a way to mend." <b>--Fiona Valpy, author of <i>The Beekeeper's Promise</i> and <i>The Dressmaker's Gift</i></b></p><p>"What a joy this book is--Victoria Connelly captures the very essence of an idyllic English village. Beautifully written with such a light touch, the characters as delicately flawed as the cracked and chipped china that Orla collects." <b>--Imogen Clark, author of <i>Where The Story Starts</i> and <i>The Thing About Clare</i></b></p><br>
