Single mother Emelie swaps city bustle for the peaceful rhythms of Sardinön, a tiny Swedish island where life is never quite as quiet as it seems. Managing the community centre, juggling three spirited daughters, and nurturing a secret romance with Andreas, the local gardener, Emelie quickly discovers that Sardinön is home to a delightfully quirky cast of characters. From yoga-loving potters and tango-dancing widows to saw-playing musicians and a tap-dancing council inspector, the island buzzes with charm.

When single mother Emelie inherits a house from a distant relative, she imagines a sun-drenched estate in Sardinia. Instead, she finds herself on Sardinön, an island off the Swedish coast, in a house stuffed with Christmas decor and shared, unexpectedly, with a disarmingly handsome gardener, Andreas. What begins as the daunting task of sorting through a towering collection of ornaments and keepsakes soon unearths new bonds, new traditions, and the possibility of healing.

I know I have to get myself out of this funk, but it feels impossible. My childhood best friend is dead and nothing in life is working out as I’d planned. Then Lottie leaves me a ‘jar of joy’ in her will – filled with instructions to visit places where we had our happiest memories. But with every happy memory, I also remember the things that tore us apart. Because Lottie was keeping secrets. And Jay – the man we both loved – keeps turning up at the same places. Even as I feel pieces of myself begin to heal, some wounds run too deep.

Edie lives quietly in a crumbling country house in Broadstairs with her partner Joanna. They have spent two decades together since the death of Harry, the third member of their marriage. It’s a bohemian existence, but a happy one – and yet conversations about the mother who abandoned her have recently awoken in Edie. Edie reflects on her childhood as part of the post-war Jewish Diaspora in Maida Vale, and the heady, hedonistic years of 1960s London when she experienced her sexual awakening. Now approaching fifty, she wonders if there’s still time to become the woman she once yearned to be.
