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.
