Summary

A house full of secrets is at the heart A Winter Memory, an absorbing family drama from bestselling author Lulu Taylor–perfect for the winter months.

Now

Years ago, Helen fell for the charming Hamish and was enchanted by his family home, the romantic Ballintyre House. Elegantly sat on the edge of a loch in western Scotland, the house has been home to the Ballintyre family for decades. Now, seeking refuge from a scandal that has cost Hamish his job, they are living with his older brother Charlie at the house, while his troubled mother is never too far away. Struggling with her own problems, Helen is surprised to find that Charlie’s wife has vanished. No one else seems at all concerned. Where has she gone, and why?

Then

In 1968, sixteen-year-old Tigs is madly in love with James Ballintyre, her childhood friend and hero. When he marries another woman, her heart is broken. She tries to find her way to a new life and a new love but, somehow, everyone is called back to Ballintyre in the end. Tigs is no exception . . .

Forever

Ballintyre has always been the setting for revelations of love, obsession and betrayal. Now, as Helen seeks the answer to Charlie's wife's disappearance, she is forced to confront her own difficult truths–as the events of the past reach forward to touch the lives of those who still call Ballintyre home, and reveal their secrets . . .

Another very good book from Lulu Taylor

I anticipated this new work by Lulu Taylor with pleasure, as I have greatly enjoyed most of her previous books. This one didn’t disappoint at all, delivering a good story with interesting characters. I was a bit surprised by the choice of narrator, as I found the narration a little bit stiff and wooden, although a pleasant voice. However, as the story progressed the narrative did liven up somewhat, or perhaps I just got used to it, because I really did enjoy the book overall.
