    About this ebook

    Emma wants to forget; Charlotte never can. Together they remember.

    Emma is an enterprising young journalist with a bright future, but her life and career are falling apart. In a last-ditch attempt to save her position, she accepts the assignment to interview the bestselling author – Charlotte Day.

    The ageing Charlotte has a reputation for being cantankerous and is highly secretive about her past, one she considers too painful to relive and too shameful to share. Preferring her roses to people, she is persuaded into meeting this girl who gets through her defences, forcing her to confront her past.

    As Charlotte and Emma’s relationship deepens, they find themselves enmeshed in a tangle of secrets that changes both their lives.

    But he who dares not grasp the thorns should never crave the rose – Anne Brontë

    A compassionate look at love, loss and renewal.

    Vicky Adin

    Multi-award winning historical fiction author, Vicky Adin is a genealogist in love with history and words.After decades of research Vicky has combined her skills to weave family and history stories together in a way that brings the past to life, in a similar vein to the stories by Catherine Cookson.Fascinated by the 19th Century women who undertook hazardous journeys to find a better life, Vicky draws her characters from real life stories: characters such as Brigid, the Irish lacemaker and Gwenna, the Welsh confectioner, or Megan who discovers much about herself when she traces her family tree in The Cornish Knot. 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. She is an avid reader of historical novels, family sagas and contemporary women's stories and enjoys travelling.
