She holds the verse in the palm of her hand and tells a story she died in.
When Megan dies, she leaves a promise with her twin Emily: ‘I’ll weave a song for you…it may take a while, but I’ll come back to you Em, somehow’. Her song threads a tapestry, spinning through a mosaic of memories and weaving into the present day, touching the lives of Alice and Jon.
The Café by the Oak is in the heart of Crayshead, a Cornish seaside town with a sleepy tortoise, a vocal parrot, and a dog named Wellington. Emily is charmed by Alice, an old lady with secrets hidden behind the walls of a convent. Jon’s life lacks purpose. After taking up a new teaching post he feels settled enough to begin unravelling his past, but when he finds something he isn’t looking for it causes him to question everything.
Emily seeks comfort in her art, reflecting on her childhood, and helping Jon pursue his past. And as Alice slowly reveals her secret, Emily breathes life into a painting on canvas… Can Megan weave a song without leaving them all with a sense of betrayal?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
what a fantastic read, thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book. I could not put it down.
The book cover was initially what caught my eye. It gave me vibes of loneliness, drifting and feeling bereft. I don't know if that's just my state of mind at the moment, that it instantly took me straight there, but whatever, it did it's job and drew me in. The synopsis as well. I've never actually seen this before and I was instantly intrigued and had to read it. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this book as it's a completely new premise for me, but, it delivered. The characters were really well developed and book itself was perfectly balanced and executed. I really enjoyed this one, such an immersive story. Totally different to anything else I've read, this has that stand out quality. Loved it. Would highly recommend. I'm now eagerly awaiting more releases from this author. Thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for this arc. 5 out of 5
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, very captivating. Beautifully written, moving and radiates spirit.
