Still Time

You can't change the past, but can you make it right? From the bestselling author of Little Wing, comes a sweeping, multi-generational story of love and family, that asks if it's ever too late to make amends. In Canada, Peter van der Hoven is an unremarkable middle-aged man set in his ways when suddenly, memories of being seventeen hurtle into his uncomplicated life. The mesmerising girl in the homemade dress. That one night in 1969. The terrible secret he has kept hidden, even from himself, for four decades. In England, Nell Hartley's childhood was not an easy one. But now, with a young family of her own, life is complete. Then a stranger arrives on her doorstep and everything she's ever known is torn apart. From the majestic Coast Mountains of British Columbia, to historic Colchester in England, the search for the truth unfolds. But it is at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, on the wind-whipped Isle of Harris in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, where answers are waiting to be found.
