What a lovely book. I devoured this.
The story flits between the early seventies and the present day.
In 1970s Brighton, Imelda Burova is taking over the reins from her Mother on their Tarot/Clairvoyant/Fortune telling business as she has the gift. At the same time Jeanie has left school and is starting her first job, Treasure is having problems at school and Ruby has started a new job at Larkins, the local holiday camp.
In the present day, Billie has just said goodbye to her childhood home following the death of her father. She is sent something that rocks her foundations and causes her to question her entire life. In order to make sense of it, she heads to Brighton.
As the story progresses we are told both stories and meet lots of interesting people along the way. As expected, the stories come together to make sense of the past and the present.
