This is the tale of one woman finally discovering her ancestry.

When Leora dies, her daughter Dee begins to sort through her effects, discovering more than she bargained for. Dee has never know anything about her father and now she has more questions than answers. Her own daughter is about to become a published author, but why is she hiding the details of her novel? Why had her mother been sending money to the Basque Relief Agency every month, and what is the Anglican Priest not telling? All this alongside her boss being displeased about her need for time off following a parental death and a co-worker becoming friendly on a personal level, Dee wonders how long she can keep all these plates spinning.

I've been a long time in getting to read this book. It was one of the first I requested from NetGalley but somewhere along the way my copy was mislaid, but I've got here in the end! Full of surprises, this is an interesting read which kept me absorbed, keen to find out exactly what Dee's investigations would reveal. It's an easy read, and one which answered all the questions lurking both in Dee's mind and my own - plus a bit more. A perfectly pleasant read, and worth four stars.

This is - as always - my honest, original and unbiased review.
