women. Two villages. Different destinies.
Book Description:
Odeta’s life has shrunk to a
daily round of drudgery, running her father’s grocery store in a remote
Albanian village. One day a stranger from Tirana walks into the shop and
promises her a new career in London.
Odeta’s life is about to change,
but not in the way she expected.
Journalist Kate lives on a quiet
London street and seems to have a perfect life but she worries about her son
Ben, who struggles to make friends. Kate blames the internet and disconnects
her family from the online world so they can get to know their neighbours.
On a visit to her home village in
Wales, Kate is forced to confront a secret from her past. But greater danger
lies closer to home. Perhaps Kate’s neighbours are not the friendly community
they seem.
