Everyone has a dream of their perfect house in a perfect setting.

When Kate Hutchinson and her family move from London to the peace and quiet of the Suffolk countryside, Kate is full of hope. Staying with her
mother-in-law must surely be temporary before they find a wonderful home of their own.

Then Kate stumbles upon the house of her dreams, a beautiful place, full of memories, but tantalisingly out of reach. Its owner is Agnes, elderly and frail,
whose story - as it unravels - echoes uncannily Kate's own.

Soon Kate comes to realise how uncertain and unsettling even a life built on dreams can be...
