‘Charming and compelling… a beautiful book, wise, heartfelt and full of hope’Hazel Prior,Away with the Penguins

‘Witty and delightful, this story is a salve to the soul’Colleen Oakley,The Invisible Husband of Frick Island

Liv Green loves losing herself in a good book. But her everyday reality is less romantic, cleaning houses for people who barely give her the time of day. So when she lands a job housekeeping for her personal hero and mega-bestselling author Essie Starling, she can't believe her luck.

When Essie dies unexpectedly, Liv is left with a life-changing last wish: to complete Essie’s final novel. To do so, change-averse Liv will have to step away from the fictitious worlds in her head, and into Essie’s shoes. As she begins to write, she uncovers a surprising connection between the two women – and a secret that will change Liv’s life forever…

Brimming with joy and packed with a sparkling cast of characters, is a moving reminder that it’s never too late to re-write your own story – perfect for fans of and .The Book ShareThe Lost BookshopThe Authenticity Project
