'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

'Every choice changed the road you were on and it was too easy to end up going in the wrong direction'

Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her family and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and travelled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But these two estranged women and their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, come together at their father's deathbed to hear the one last promise he extracts from the women in his life.

It begins with a story like no other: a captivating, mysterious love story that spans sixty-five years and moves from war-torn Leningrad in the 1940s to modern-day Alaska. One so unexpected and extraordinary that, when Meredith and Nina finally learn the secrets of their mother's past, they will uncover a truth so terrible that it will shake the very foundations of the family and who they think they are.
