A deeply moving story of what it means to care for those we love - by bestselling author Kate Mosse, writer of Labyrinth and The City of Tears'A truly beautiful book, shot through with honesty, heartbreak and joy. I loved it' Adam Kay'Luminous with love' Nicci Gerrard'A celebration of ageing, womanhood and what love really means' Christie Watson, author of The Language of KindnessAs our population ages, more and more of us find ourselves caring for parents and loved ones - some 8.8 million people in the UK. An invisible army of carers holding families together.Here, Kate Mosse tells her personal story of finding herself as a carer in middle age: first, helping her mother look after her beloved father through Parkinson's, then supporting her mother in widowhood, and finally as 'an extra pair of hands' for her 90-year-old mother-in-law. This is a story about the gentle heroism of our carers, about small everyday acts of tenderness, and finding joy in times of crisis. It's about juggling priorities, mind-numbing repetition, about guilt and powerlessness, about grief, and the solace of nature when we're exhausted or at a loss.It is also about celebrating older people, about learning to live differently - and think differently about ageing. But most of all, it's a story about love. 'A meditation on caring and ageing that lifts the spirits without pulling punches' Ian Rankin 'A beautiful, emotional and timely read' Matt Haig 'Questions how and why we fetishise independence when the reality of human experience is always interdependence.Here is a book that sees, in this, a cause for celebration' Guardian Book of the Day

Kate Mosse From the bestselling author of LABYRINTH and SEPULCHRE - a compelling story of ghosts and rememberance. With illustrations throughout by Brian Gallagher. The Great War took much more than lives. It robbed a generation of friends, lovers and futures. In Freddie Watson's case, it took his beloved brother and, at times, his peace of mind. In the winter of 1928, still seeking resolution, Freddie is travelling through the French Pyrenees - another region that has seen too much bloodshed over the years. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the mountain road and he stumbles into the woods. Emerging by a tiny village, he meets Fabrissa, a beautiful woman also mourning a lost generation. Over the course of one night, Fabrissa and Freddie share their stories. By the time dawn breaks, he will have stumbled across a tragic mystery that goes back through the centuries. By turns thrilling, poignant and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage.
