This is the second book by Essie Summers (the first being Bay of the Nightingales) in which a young woman goes to Akaroa in search of long-lost relatives and incidentally discovers a lot of antiques. It almost begins to sound like a dangerous place for losing family members. I've got to stop binge reading Essie Summers books.

Seriously, it's a lovely story about a young woman getting out from under a selfish family and following her dreams. ( )
