Hvad sker der, når storbypigen flytter på landet, og landsbymennesket til storbyen? I denne charmerende roman af den britiske bestsellerforfatter Jenny Colgan får du det bedste fra det pulserende London og det idylliske skotske højland. Lissa arbejder som sygeplejerske i et af Londons mest belastede kvarterer. Hele sit liv har hun været dygtig, pligtopfyldende og glad for sit job, men alt ændrer sig efter en chokerende ulykke.

Die Londoner Krankenschwester Lissa kümmert sich um alle, nur nicht um sich selbst. Doch nach einem traumatischen Erlebnis braucht sie eine Auszeit: irgendwo, wo es ruhig ist, alle nett zueinander sind und der Himmel unendlich scheint.

Per Mail helfen sie einander, sich in der jeweils neuen Heimat zurechtzufinden.

Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost. When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh - a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house - Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.

Marisa Rosso is struggling. Since the death of her beloved grandfather back home in Italy, she can't seem to find a way out of her grief. She's a registrar and knows losing grandparents is a natural part of life, so why does she feel so lost? When she hears a hospital is recruiting in Mount Polbearne, a tiny and remote tidal island off the Cornish coast, Marisa thinks she has found the perfect retreat. Perhaps some solitude is just what she needs to combat her homesickness and rediscover her equilibrium. But Mount Polbearne is a far cry from the sleepy little place she was imagining.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Determined to gain some insight, Posy resolves to get online, track down her exes, and ask them. Which doors from Posy’s past should stay closed? Which might open? Can she learn from past mistakes?
