Mia
Book Description:
The arrival of a letter from Italy was to change the course of life for eighteen year old Apricot for ever. Now, ten years on, she recalls the events that crept up on them all and threatened to destroy her family at its heart.
As the hitherto established picture of her childhood shifts, re-forms and shifts again, Apricot pieces together the puzzle of the dark truth that overshadowed their world and shattered the lives of her father, uncle and their sister Mia, to whom she bears a striking resemblance.
What was the secret that ‘La Casa Cieca’ – ‘The Blind House’ – needed to hide? Who had inspired the magnificent Peacock Room in the attic? And where had she seen the painting of the little sailing boat before?
Would Apricot’s determination and her uncompromising love for her family be enough to bring about healing and reconciliation before it was too late? The answer was to lie in Uncle Tom’s last fairytale …
‘I can honestly say that there are few modern authors I have read that bring characters and scenes together so vividly and with such colour.’
‘Oh My Goodness! I’m hooked to the novel and couldn’t put it down … Although it has quite a serious element to it, you also made me smile.’
‘I am totally in awe of your ability to write in such an amazing and magical way about such a sensitive subject.’
