Moving in with her mother-in-law must surely be only a temporary measure before the estate agent's details of the perfect house fall through the letterbox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But when Kate, out walking one evening, stumbles upon the house of her dreams, a beautiful place, full of memories, it is tantalizingly out of her reach. Its owner is the frail elderly \u003cb\u003eAgnes\u003c\/b\u003e, whose story - as it unravels - echoes so much of Kate's own. And Kate comes to realize how uncertain and unsettling even a life built on dreams can be - wherever you are, at whatever time you are living and whoever you are with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Rachel Hore's novels:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘A tour de force.
