Pandora’s BoxPerfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Diane Chamberlain and Jodi Picoult. Rachel Wetherby has just been told the news no mother should ever have to hear. Her daughter, Shelley, has a terminal illness. Convincing her mum that she’d like to spend her last birthday in Cornwall, a place of so many happy memories, Shelley decides to make every moment count. Because unknown to Rachel, Shelley is juggling a secret romance with planning her own death. But when she opens a box left by her grandmother, Shelley discovers a past she never knew existed. It’s a past that will make her laugh and cry in equal measure. And it will help Shelley and her mother find the joy in every moment that she has left . . . |
