Her The Rose of Sebastopol was a Richard and Judy choice and due to its obvious success the publishers have astutely reissued one of her earlier book, originally published in 1997 but sure to have been missed by her many new fans. Set in Suffolk and full of English charm and nostalgia this is the story of a woman researching for a book on her grandfather and finding repressed or misplaced love that echoes down the ages.
