A forgotten house and a secret hidden for a century... 'Wonderfully evocative' Judy Finnigan 'An absolute delight!' Hazel Gaynor 'Wonderful escapism' Tracy Rees 'A lovely story' Erica James 'Gloriously rich' Rachel Hore 'Sublime storytelling' Cathy Bramley 'Emotional' Kate Ryder Following the breakdown of her marriage, Theo has bought a tumbledown cottage on the banks of the river Tamar which divides Cornwall and Devon. The peace and tranquillity of Boatman's Cottage, nestled by the water, is just what she needs to heal. Yet soon after her arrival, Theo discovers a stash of hidden letters tied with a ribbon, untouched for more than a century. The letters - sent from the battlefields of France during WW1 - tell of a young servant from the nearby manor house, Abbotswood, and his love for a woman he was destined to lose. As she begins to bring Boatman's Cottage and its gardens back to life, Theo pieces together a story of star-crossed lovers played out against the river, while finding her own new path to happiness. The River Between Us beautifully explores the mystery and secrets of a long-forgotten love affair, and will be loved by fans of Kate Morton.

The story goes back and forth between the present time of Theo and 1914 when Lady Alice is sent in disgrace to the family home at Abbottswood because of her suffragist actions. Alice is a fascinating character, headstrong but determined not to live the life her family is forcing her into. There's nothing to do but fish but the young gillie Zach is handsome and willing to accommodate her.
Meanwhile, Theo is exploring her own links to the past as she settles into the cottage where Zach once lived. The family links can be confusing though it straightens out as the story goes on, but I confess I peeked at the author's website where there's a handy family tree.
I loved the descriptions of Devon and Cornwall. The author does a nice job of describing flora and fauna, weaving them into the story seamlessly. I definitely have to explore more of her catalog. (
