Official synopsis Publisher
From bestselling, beloved author Harriet Evans, a moving, page-turning saga about one family’s journey across half a century–and about the extraordinary house that they call home.
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Alice Jansen collects her treasures–the keepsakes, figurines, and mementos that help her make sense of her fragile family. But the next day her heart is broken, and the final treasure, a gift from her father, is lost. Two years later, Alice answers a phone call from a stranger and runs away to New York, trying to forget her last golden summer at the orchard on the banks of the Hudson.
Tom Raven can’t understand why he keeps losing so many of the things and people that really matter to him, but he knows for certain that something important is missing from his life. One day, he remembers a forgotten letter and makes a phone call, then leaves Sevenstones, the only place that feels like home, for a strange city.
Gripping and beautifully written, this story follows a family and a house over fifty years and three generations, of their beginning and their ending, and of finding the treasures that symbolize the most important memories in our lives.
