Full synopsis

In a small Lancashire town, two lives intersect with secrets buried deep within a century-old mill.

After serving in the Gulf War, Dev opens a bakery in an abandoned wallpaper mill, seeking peace and purpose. Meanwhile, Dani, haunted by her family’s troubled history, leaves Manchester and moves in with her grandmother, whose own past is tied to a scandal at the mill dating back to 1915.

As Dani and Dev grow closer, they uncover dark secrets that link Dani’s family to the mill. A hidden room within its walls holds answers to long-buried mysteries, from a love affair with a spy to a shocking betrayal. As events unfold, Dani must confront her own buried guilt, while Dev faces his unfulfilled feelings.

When past and present collide, can Dani and Dev find peace, or will history’s sins consume them?

Here's what readers have to say about this book....

Suzy Rauschert

I really enjoyed this novel. Despite it being a big book, you don’t really feel it because you’re enjoying it. I loved the author’s writing and I loved the characters. The chapters alternate POV’s and it’s done well. This is a very “human” story and I felt for the characters.

Kirsty Montgomery

I really enjoyed this book. I really like books that have multiple points of view in them as it really allows me to get to grips with the story and the characters. I love historical fiction and I have always been fascinated by old buildings such as Mills etc that would have seen and heard so much., so I found this aspect fascinating too. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be looking for more from the author
