Ive had a lovely hot shower, slathered myself in Doves body lotion and am ready to curl up in my bed with my amazing book.
It is one of those books you don't want to put down, because you just must find out what happens on the next page.
But at the same time, I don't want to read it too quickly, it is so good, I want to treasure it and make it last forever.
This is what is written on the back of the book:
It's 1913 and a dark, rainy night in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia, when a little four-year-old girl is found abandoned on the dock. The port master simply cannot believe that someone would walk away and leave such a tiny child, and he waits for hours for someone to claim her. No one does. Eventually he and his wife adopt the girl, name her Nell, and raise her as their own. When Nell becomes engaged to be married, her adopted father tells her the truth about that dark night, and she is changed forever. In 1975 Nell has the chance to try to find out her true identity and flies to England. Buying a cottage in Cornwall, she fully intends to return to Australia, tie up a few loose ends, and renew her search for her roots in Cornwall. Once back in Australia, life intervenes, and years later it is up to her granddaughter, Cassandra, to resume her grandmother's quest.
Goodnight all, sleep tight.
