What you need to know before your trail

Forbidden, passionate and all-encompassing, Margo and Richard’s love affair was the stuff of legend– but, ultimately, doomed.

When Richard walked out, Margo locked herself away, leaving her three daughters, Rachel, Imogen and Sasha, to run wild.

Years later, charismatic Margo entertains lovers and friends in her cottage on the Isle of Wight, refusing to ever speak of Richard and her painful past. But her silence is keeping each of the Garnett girls from finding true happiness.

Rachel is desperate to return to London, but is held hostage by responsibility for Sandcove, their beloved but crumbling family home.

Dreamy Imogen feels the pressure to marry her kind, considerate fiancé, even when life is taking an unexpected turn.

And wild, passionate Sasha, trapped between her fractured family and controlling husband, is weighed down by a secret that could shake the family to its core…

The Garnett Girls, the captivating debut from Georgina Moore, asks whether children can ever be free of the mistakes of their parents.

Travel Guide

The Isle of Wight

This novel is a love affair to the Isle of Wight and its many beaches, its dreamy locations and how time and place can build and preserve memories across family generations.

This may be a story of family but the use of place and location to illustrate memories and emotions is nicely done. How a place, a beach can conjured up such happy times. The numerous beaches either visited or mentioned in the novel could well form a good beach guide to the Isle of Wight. That would be a great booktrail to do!

There is also a nice mention of Venice as one couple have a nice holiday there so if you do head over there, be sure to visit Gritti Palace hotel for lunch and have bellinis at the Gallerie dell’Accademia.
