Summary from Goodreads: Fresh, poignant and unlike anything else' -- Jill Dawson, Whitbread and Orange Prize-shortlisted author 'Tender and unflinching, a beautifully observed novel.' -- Carys Bray, Costa Prize-shortlisted author 'It crept under my skin and will stay there for a long time' -- Emma Henderson, Orange Prize-shortlisted author 'Amazing: fierce, intelligent, compassionate and deeply moving' -- Edward Hogan, Desmond Elliot Prize-winning author 'Funny, heartbreaking and truly remarkable' -- Susan Barker, New York Times bestselling author Maeve Maloney is a force to be reckoned with. Despite nearing eighty, she keeps Sea View Lodge just as her parents did during Morecambe's 1950s heyday. But now only her employees and regular guests recognise the tenderness and heartbreak hidden beneath her spikiness. Until, that is, Vincent shows up. Vincent is the last person Maeve wants to see. He is the only man alive to have known her twin sister, Edie. The nightingale to Maeve's crow, the dawn to Maeve's dusk, Edie would have set her sights on the stage all things being equal. But, from birth, things never were. If only Maeve could confront the secret past she shares with Vincent, she might finally see what it means to love and be loved a lesson that her exuberant yet inexplicable twin may have been trying to teach her all along.

Now my 2 cents: Thanks to Netgalley for giving me a ARC of this book. In my opinion there were too many flashbacks. It was hard to hold my attention. I did not love it.
