PAPER DAFFODILS
Rosie Bishop is sixty-two, thoroughly fed up, and absolutely not interested in finding herself.
A week at a sensible retreat in the Lake District is her daughter’s idea of salvation and Rosie’s idea of hell. Discovering she has to share her room with a stranger only makes her mutter more.
Until Rosie realises the stranger isn’t a stranger at all.
Twenty years after Dawn disappeared from her life, she waltzes back in like she never left.
And things are about to get considerably less sensible.
