Hardback: From Erica James, bestselling author of Summer at the Lake (2013), comes an enchanting tale of one family coming together and finding their way.
It is the summer of 1939, and after touring an unsettled Europe to promote her latest book, Romily Temple returns home to Island House and the love of her life, the charismatic Jack Devereux.
But when Jack falls ill, his estranged family are called home and given seven days to find a way to bury their resentments and come together.
With war now declared, each member of the family is reluctantly forced to accept their new stepmother and confront their own shortcomings.
But can the habits of a lifetime be changed in one week?
And can Romily, a woman who thrives on adventure, cope with the life that has been so unexpectedly thrust upon her?
All these and more can be found in Erica James' latest book, Coming Home To Island House (2018).
About the author: With an insatiable appetite for other people's business, Erica James will readily strike up conversation with strangers in the hope of unearthing a useful gem for her writing. She finds it the best way to write authentic characters for her novels, although her two grown-up sons claim they will never recover from a childhood spent in a perpetual state of embarrassment at their mother's compulsion.
The author of nineteen bestselling novels, and the winner of the 2006 Romantic Novel of the Year Award, Erica divides her time between Suffolk and Lake Como in Italy.
