Everyone needs a place like Hopewell Cottage – a romantic holiday rental on a small, sunny island.
For Rose and Lottie, it’s a refuge from the frenzy of the school gates.
For Beverly, it’s a chance to say goodbye to two lost loves.
And for disgraced movie star Caroline, it offers the anonymity she craves.
But on tiny Little Lost Island, with its cocktail parties, tennis matches and Ladies’ Association for Beautification, will they really find the answers to their very modern problems?

If the idea of escaping the real world for a month appeals to you, then this is the next best thing. The descriptions of the island are so beautiful that you can almost taste the lobster, smell the flowers, and feel the icy cold water on your skin * Heat *
