β¦ Synopsis
A quirky novel of magic, mystery, and sisterhood, from "a highly original talent" (Beryl Bainbridge, author of Master Georgie).
The Way sisters, Anna, Charlie, and Emz, were raised in two worlds. Their mother's realm of reason, measurement, and logic, and the world inhabited by their spectacularly unconventional grandmother, Hettie.
While their mother worked, the sisters ran wild at Hettie's Cob Cottage, discovering forbidden Pike Lake, unknowable Havoc Wood, and what their grandmother referred to only as "The Strengths."
But time passed, the sisters grew up, work and relationships and their mother's world won them over, and The Strengths lay forgotten . . . until Hettie passes away suddenly, leaving behind Cob Cottage and a whole lot of questions.
Anna is busy trying very hard not to cry as she caters yet another wedding, Charlie is spending more time at the job she loves than with the boyfriend she's not quite...
