A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Blissful, romantic reading' - Company on Foreign Fruit

'[she] deftly handles her involved plot, skillfully exploring the different family dynamics; her thoughtful tone and light touch makes this a delightful read' - Publishers Weekly

The characters are strong, believable and endearing - and will evoke recognition and sympathy from all ages . . . An enjoyable read - and a promising debut novel (Sunday Express on Sheltering Rain)

'FOREIGN FRUIT is an evocative, moving and beautifully-written love story' - Saffron Walden Reporter

Wonderful full-blooded traditional storytelling, but with a fresh slant (Sarah Harrison)

Moyes evokes the strictures of time beautifully, as well as the enervating charms of a sleepy resort. (Good Housekeeping)

Sheltering Rain made her a new star of the women's market; her second novel, about love lost and found, will not disappoint.

Good, old-fashioned storytelling at its best. Destined to be a bestseller, the book has a beautifully designed cover and, once opened, it is almost impossible to stop reading' (North Shore Times, Australia on Sheltering Rain)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Merham is a well-ordered 1950s seaside town: the kind of town in which everyone knows their place (and those who don't are promptly put in it). Lottie Swift, an evacuee who has grown up with the respectable Holden family, loves Merham, while the Holdens' daughter Celia chafes against the constraints of the town.

When a group of bohemians takes over Arcadia, a stark Art Deco house on the seafront, the girls are as drawn to its temptations as Merham's citizens are appalled by them. They set in place a chain of events both within the Holden family and Merham itself which will have longstanding and tragic consequences for all concerned.

Now, almost fifty years on, Arcadia is returning to life, and its inhabitants stirring up strong feelings again. And prompting more than one person to look into their own romantic history and ask: Can you ever leave your past behind?
