Under one roof

Under One Roof

One forgotten discovery will change three women’s lives for ever…

Robin hasn’t been home for decades. After running away to London, she never expected to see her cantankerous mother, Faye, again. But when Faye has a fall, the two women are thrown together once more.

The years apart have not made their hearts grow fonder and the ground between them is unsteady. Then Robin finds an unopened scroll – the last of the treasure hunts her much-missed father used to take them on every Sunday. A hunt he believed might change everything. 

Yet, not even this gift from her beloved father can smooth the way until Robin’s daughter, Amber, arrives to meet her grandmother for the first time.  Amber is determined that the decades-old mystery be solved.

Can a 30-year-old treasure hunt really 'change everything'?

 My Review

Absolutely loved the characters in this book. Cantankerous Faye is really well portrayed and she isn't one-dimensional. It was great to see a softer side emerge throughout the treasure hunt. Robin's daughter, Amber, is a university student with her own probems yet she forges a link with her grandmother. It is Robin's story at the heart of this book, though, and what a story! Samantha Tonge excels at exploring family relationships and this book doesn't disappoint. Can thoroughly recommend and it has gone into my favourites pile.
