Publisher Description
'You look the type to break your father’s heart.'
'Yeah, but he broke mine first.’
When Rosie Gennaro first meets Jimmy Hailler, she has walked away from life in Sydney, leaving behind the place on Dalhousie that her father, Seb, painstakingly rebuilt for his family but never saw completed. Two years later, Rosie returns to the house and living there is Martha, whom Seb Gennaro married less than a year after the death of Rosie’s mother. Martha is struggling to fulfil Seb’s dream, while Rosie is coming to terms with new responsibilities. And so begins a stand-off between two women who refuse to move out of the home they both lay claim to.
As the battle lines are drawn, Jimmy Hailler re-enters Rosie’s life. Having always watched other families from the perimeters, he’s now grappling, heartbreakingly, with forming one of his own . . .
An unforgettable story about losing love and finding love; about the interconnectedness of lives and the true nature of belonging, from one of our most acclaimed writers.
Customer Reviews
Just beautiful
This is one if the most beautiful, moving books I’ve ready. It’s magic is in the well rounded, loveable characters and the simple, gentle story telling. It was the little moments of thoughtfulness and love that brought me to tears many times.
I lived every step of their lives
And it was hard and heartwarming and a journey that I’m crying has ended whilst also being so happy that everyone found each other and at fate and life’s beautiful moments. Loved it. Want to start reading it again straight away.
