Description

The beginning of a gorgeous new family trilogy, a story of their love, life and home, of their beginning and their ending, over fifty years and three generations. Every family has a story to tell. Alice and Tom's begins here . . . On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Alice Jansen collects her treasures - the keepsakes, figurines and mementoes that help her make sense of her fragile family. But the next day her heart is broken, and the final treasure, a gift from her father, is lost. Two years later, Alice answers a phone call from a stranger and runs away to New York, and tries to forget her last golden summer at the orchard on the banks of the Hudson. Tom Raven can't understand why he keeps losing so many of the things and people that really matter to him, but he knows for certain that something important is missing from his life. One day, he remembers a forgotten letter and makes a phone call, then leaves Sevenstones, the only place that feels like home, for a strange city.

Reviews

An absolute triumph, The Treasures is an absorbing, richly imagined tale of one familys beginnings, and the fates and fortunes that ricochet down through generations. Evans characters are built to love and root for, while her sense of period and place is impeccable. I was gripped and transported by the lives of Alice and Tom, and I cant wait for the next instalment in this brilliant new series. -- Emma Stonex
