Kate Rivers has it all: London life, successful acting career, and caring lover Paul. So why, when she is unexpectedly recalled to the Welsh village where she grew up, are both her past and her present such a struggle to come to terms with? Where is Paul when she needs him, and why does her handsome cousin Rhydian seem to feature so much in both her memory and her present dilemma? First published in 2000, this classic tale is told with skill and sympathy by novelist Sian James.
