Summary

Verity Callaway is running away. From her job. From her quiet life in the Midlands. And most of all from her ex-fiancée - who has just become her newest neighbour. The plan is simple: hop in her reliable camper van and cross the Channel for a rendezvous with her best friend in Amsterdam to kick off six months of travel. But when Verity stumbles across an old postcard while preparing her cottage for its temporary tenants, her life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself on a ferry to Puffin Island instead. Verity's childhood was filled with tales of adventures set here, but she'd always thought her beloved granny had made it all up. Now, knowing the stories and the setting were real, Verity is determined to find the sender and uncover the secrets of her grandmother's past - even if it means setting off a sequence of events that will change not just her own life, but also that of the close-knit community.
