The BRAND NEW novel from the author of THE SEWING MACHINE - the Scottish bestseller that sold over 180,000 copies.
Have you ever wondered about all the people who lived in your house before you?
25 Library Terrace in Edinburgh is a house where lives are changed.
In 1911, new resident Ursula Black embraces women's suffrage in the form of a census protest, discovers vegetarianism, and learns just how difficult it can be to bring up someone else's children.
In 1931, the house becomes part of a radical experiment in a different way of living, and a family secret from the past is uncovered.
In 2011, Tess Dutton needs somewhere to live in the wake of a failed relationship, and is introduced to a rather unusual landlady.
In 2022, delayed by the pandemic, it's another census year for Scotland, and as Edinburgh's residents are able to gather once more, the strands of four generations at 25 Library Terrace are finally woven together.
From life-changing moments to unforgettable stories, what will you uncover?
An enchanting book club read, filled with history and human stories, for fans of Mary Paulson-Ellis' Edinburgh novels, Evie Woods, Sally Page and Liz Trenow.
