The house above the beach has lain neglected since the war. It comes with a reputation, which is why Mila and her mother Magda acquire it so cheaply in the fateful summer of 1954.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagda plans to restore the house to its former glory: the venue for glittering parties, where the rich and celebrated gathered for bracing walks by day and sumptuous cocktails by night. Mila's ambitions, meanwhile, are much less grand; she dreams of creating a safe haven for herself, and a happy home for her little girl, Janey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe White Valley comes with a long, eventful history, laced with tall tales. Locals say that a white hare may be seen running through the woods there; to some she's an ill omen, to others a blessing. Feeling fragile and broken-hearted, Mila is in need of as many blessings as she can get. But will this place provide the fresh start she so desperately needs?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Jane Johnson:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This book does not hesitate to evoke a sense of wonder.
