Klappentext

A witty and warm-hearted novel by New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan

Desperate to escape from London, single mother Zoe wants to build a new life for herself and her son Hari. She can barely afford the studio apartment, and if she doesn't find a way out soon, Zoe knows it's just a matter of time before she has a complete meltdown. On a whim, she answers an ad for a nanny job in the Scottish Highlands.

The job description asks for someone capable of caring for two "gifted children"; the reality is more like "feral wolverines." The children's widowed father is a wreck, and the kids left to their own devices. Still, the picturesque location is everything London is not---and Zoe rises to the challenges of the job.

With the help of Nina, the friendly local bookseller, Zoe begins to put down roots in the community. Are books, fresh air, and kindness enough to heal this broken family---and her own?
