Description

When Tim confides in Mattie that he needs a sabbatical from work and a fresh place to live, she suggests he move into one of the cottages at her familys home in the beautiful English countryside. She senses theres something hes not telling her, but she has faith that hell fit right in with the eccentric but affectionate crowd at Brockscombe. As he gets to know the warm jumble of family who share their lives, Tim discovers that everyone there has their secrets. Theres Kat, a retired ballet dancer who longs to take the stage again; Charlotte, a young navy wife struggling to bring up her son while her husband is at sea; and William, who has tried hard to get over his estranged wife, though its much harder now that shes trying to move into the cottage Tim just occupied. And, even when shes far away, Tim knows theres Mattie ... beautiful, engaging, clever Mattie. Can Tim open up to her? Would it matter, he wonders, if he did?
