Description
The bestselling ebook sensation.
'Atmospheric, engaging and sublimely satisfying' Veronica Henry
How far must you run to leave the past behind you?
It is 1919 and the end of the war has not brought peace for Emeline Vane. Lost in grief, she is suddenly alone at the heart of a depleted family. She can no longer cope. And as everything seems to be slipping beyond her control, in a moment of desperation, she boards a train and runs away.
Fifty years later, a young solicitor on his first case finds Emeline’s diary. What Bill Perch finds in the tattered pages of neat script goes against everything he has been told. He begins to trace an anguished story of love and betrayal that will send him on a journey to discover the truth.
I closed my eyes as I tried to pick apart every flavour, because nothing had ever tasted so good before. It was love and it could not be hidden.
What really happened to Emeline all those years ago?
Includes a sumptuous recipe inspired by the author's research for the book.

Featured Reviews
I received an electronic copy of this book for free from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I had read Laura Madeleine's previous novel so I was eagerly anticipating the release of this one. The male POV was unexpected but I liked it. I know this sounds sexist but I don't usually read books with a male POV. I usually prefer to read about the thoughts of my own gender. However, that did not put me off. I especially loved the ending. It was a very exciting and fulfilling conclusion. I would recommend this book to all.
Thank you Laura Madeleine and Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say that I absolutely adored The Confectioner's Tale so read Laura's second book was very exciting.
I love books that converge two different times and this book did it beautifully. A missing young woman and the solicitors assistant sent out 50 years later to look for clues to where she went is written so beautifully that you feel yourself beside them. To quote the book - "how do you describe colour?" - well Laura did just so with the smells of the recipes just wafting off the page.
I highly recommend this book. Thank you Laura, I will be on the lookout for your books forever.
Set in two of my favourite periods of history (1919 and 1969), Where the Wild Cherries Grow is a story of loss, of running away, of finding out who you really are and that family is so much more than blood.
I absolutely loved this book; the parrallel of the two stories, the characters, the train journeys through France are all beautifully depicted - and the pace is just right. And as for the descriptions of food....well, it was as though you were right there, cooking and eating with the characters.
