WIN early proof copies of Secrets of the Bees by Jane Johnson for your book club!

For Adults

Time has forgotten this remote corner of West Cornwall, and left its many secrets undisturbed. Until now…

Ezra Curnow has lived in the little cottage on the Trengrose estate all his life. He was born there, as was his father, and his grandfather before that. It is his own little paradise.

Then the mistress of the estate, Eliza Rosevear, dies without leaving a will, and the cottage’s ownership is put into question. Trengrose’s charm soon attracts London financier Toby and his wife Minty, and Toby immediately sniffs an opportunity to rent out Ezra’s cottage to tourists. But Ezra, a wily old chap, is prepared to battle to save his beloved home, and he has a number of secret weapons in his armoury.

As Toby resorts to more drastic measures, Ezra’s case looks increasingly hopeless. But the recently deceased mistress of Trengrose took some secrets to her grave too, and she doesn’t intend to rest quietly until they come to light…
