THE SUN
'That dreamy pink house, the orchard, left wild with paths mown through it leading to beehives dotted about; the smoky blue rolling hills beyond . . .'
__________
Emma and Hugh have a dilemma. Hugh's parents have divorced and neither wants the Pink House - the family home he grew up in and which holds so many memories.
If they take it on, they must also accept all that comes with it, including Hugh's sister Sally, living in the garden cottage; playing host to their eldest son's wedding; converting the barn into an art gallery for Emma's new career . . . Whatever happened to the lazy rural idyll?
Then all Emma's expectations are thrown into doubt when she runs into Rory McCloud - the one who got away so many years ago.
Suddenly, she's wondering what might have been . . .
A big move can change so much, but for Emma could it change everything?

Reviews
I've always been a Catherine Alliott fan, and this was an absolute joy.
A delicious tangle of secrets and hidden desire. Alliott's heroines are always a delight - like Bridget Jones' posher cousin: a bit dizzy, but with a huge heart and a strong sense of what's right and what's important. And in this case, that's family. A complicated, messy, imperfect family and all the baggage that brings, all playing out in the most gorgeous setting. How I longed to live in the Pink House!
It's a modern fairy tale of mistakes and the lengths we go to to pretend everything is perfect: wise, funny, glamorously chaotic and achingly romantic.

Stepping into the world of The Pink House is like getting home and discovering someone has already run a hot, bubbly bath for you after a hard day's work. Emma and Hugh's story is intriguing and twisty. They've been married for what feels like forever and it's been mostly...well...okay. The children are great but they're independent now, and the chance to relocate to Hugh's idyllic family home in the country is too difficult for Emma to resist. What follows is a voyage of discovery for them all that turns Emma's largely contented life upside down. A kaleidoscope of family complications tends to threaten Emma's equilibrium but nothing daunted, she breezes forward and gets right on with socking it to them all.
I adored every moment of this blissful book!
