I first discovered Ms. Willett 12 years ago when I read a paperback by her and I have been a big fan ever since. Her books are similar in tone to those by Maeve Binchy. In her books it is all about the characters. (She even brings in some characters from an earlier book - it took me a while to figure out why this one character seemed so familiar!!!).Billa and her younger brother, Ed, enjoyed a happy childhood until the sudden loss of their father. Soon afterward an older boy by the name of Dom came to spend time with his grandma not far away. Come to find out there is a reason Dom reminds them of their father! But the three of them become very close. When Ed and Billa's mother remarries it is hard for them to accept their stepfather, Anthony. He might have been bearable if it were not for his mean son, Tristan.
But fifty years have passed since then. Ed and Billa have ended up in their childhood home and Dom has come back to the area and lives close. They are as content as can be until they start receiving .......can you guess???..... Yes! postcards from the past!!! They are signed by Tristan and the way they are written makes Billa relive the worse time of her life. I loved the book because I loved reading about the characters and the charm of Cornwall. (AND it has a great cover!!)
