    About this ebook

    Can one woman’s secrets change the life of another a century later?

    On the anniversary of her husband’s unexpected death, Megan sits at home heartbroken and disconsolate. A mysterious package arrives containing a century-old journal, which shakes her out of her self-imposed seclusion.

    She embarks on a journey following from New Zealand to Cornwall, France and Italy, uncovering a past she knows nothing about. She is pursued by a much younger man in Venice. She meets an intriguing fellow countryman in Florence and finds herself caught up in the mysterious world of art and captivated by a series of unknown paintings. As she unravels her history and reveals its secrets, can she also find love again?

Her latest release, The Costumier's Gift is the dual timeline sequel to the family sagas of Brigid The Girl from County Clare and Gwenna The Welsh Confectioner.Vicky Adin holds a MA(Hons) in English and Education.
