Grace Wellbeck is 64 - living on a canal boat in London with her second husband, she lives a relatively settled life of routine.A chance encounter with a man in the street changes everything though - a man who is the spitting image of her first, deceased husband. Is he a ghost? Is Grace going mad?
As she recalls the dramatic and torrid events of her first marriage, and the devastating loss of a child, Grace becomes swept into the life of two young artists, and the passions she finds there lead her into making a huge decision...

In addition, both had me utterly hooked from start to end.
