The First Wife

by Emily Barr
4.1 (425)
Lily is adrift and penniless in Cornwall after the death of the grandparents who brought her up. She gradually makes a life for herself, and when she finds a cleaning job she becomes preoccupied with the glamorous couple she never sees, but whose house she looks after every week.

When tragedy strikes, she finds herself getting close to dashing widower Harry. Yet she senses that things are not what they seem. Lily adores Harry, but cannot plan her future with him until she finds out exactly what happened to his first wife. This quest takes her to Barcelona, where events take a course she could never have predicted.

‘Beautifully written with engaging, emotionally complex characters and a great plot. I couldn’t put it down.’ Daily Mail
