Puffin Island – when the tides turn, true friends are never apart



'Full of warmth' #1 Sunday Times Bestseller Katie Fforde

Verity Callaway is running away.




From her job.




From her quiet life in the Midlands.




And most of all from her ex-fiancée…who has just become her newest neighbour.



The plan is simple: hop in her reliable camper van and cross the Channel, headed for a rendezvous with her best friend in Amsterdam to kick off six months of travel. But when Verity stumbles across a decades-old postcard while preparing her cottage for its temporary tenants, her life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself on a ferry to Puffin Island instead.


Verity’s childhood was filled with tales of adventures set on the picturesque island, but she’d always thought her beloved granny had made it all up. Now, knowing the stories and the setting were real, Verity is determined to find the postcard’s sender and uncover the secrets of her grandmother’s past…even if it means setting off a sequence of events that will change not just her own life, but also that of the sleepy island’s close-knit community…
