    [synopsis] => "I need your help getting Chynalls in order so I can stay in my own house. Come down right away!"After the death of her mother, Rebecca is sorting through her empty flat. Starting with the letters piling up on the doormat, she finds an envelope postmarked from Cornwall. In it is a letter that will change her life forever. A desperate plea from her mother's elderly cousin, Olivia, to help save her beloved home.Rebecca arrives at Chynalls to find the house crumbling into the ground and Olivia stuck in hospital with no hope of being discharged until her home is made habitable.Though slightly daunted, Rebecca sets to work. But as she peels back the layers of paint, plaster, and grime, she uncovers secrets buried for more than seventy years. Secrets from a time when Olivia was young, the Second World War was raging, and danger and romance lurked round every corner … 
	"A gem of a novel." 
	"A beautifully written story of two women's courage." 
	"Rebecca restores more to Olivia than merely a house while reclaiming her own sense of worth and purpose in the process." 
	"An irresistible epic history of one family in Cornwall, England…Johnson's powers of description evoke the setting's living history and brings it to brilliant life. This sweeping saga is a must-read." 
	"Atmospheric setting, fast-paced dual narrative, and vividly eccentric characters…it's also an unflinching look at racism and sexism in England during the Second World War, a bittersweet love story and a tribute to unexpected courage under fire…[A] lushly rendered world." 
	"Full of secrets and passion, with two strong heroines, this book satisfies every need. It's utterly romantic and page-turningly exciting."
