Meet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against a world which seems to hold little mercy for her and her family - or their old, crumbling house, falling down around them. Willa's two grown-up children, a new-born grandchild, and her ailing father-in-law have all moved in at a time when life seems at its most precarious. But when Willa discovers that a pioneering female scientist lived on the same street in the 1800s, could this historical connection be enough to save their home from ruin? And can Willa, despite the odds, keep her family together?

Slightly disappointed by my favourite author
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
When right at the end, the incredibly valuable artefact (I won’t go into detail) was discovered, it was quite incomprehensible for Willa to hand this over to a local museum when we had spent the whole book enduring her family’s slide into poverty! As a character, I also found Willa pretty damned irritating. Not my favourite book.
Great, writing far, far too long
