ALMOST 40

A tale of love, loss, family secrets and second chances



It is 18 months since Jane Almond, 39-year-old accountant, ended her relationship with the egotistical Jago. Spring in London is a time for new beginnings and Jane is ready to love again if she can find “Mr Right”. Falling in love takes on a literal meaning when Jane finds herself sprawled at the feet of the handsome stranger in Ravenscourt Park.

A surprise inheritance followed by a summer of love with undertaker, Edward Pilkington, leads Jane to believe the future holds so much promise until the shock discovery of Edward’s secret life. Broken-hearted, Jane seeks refuge in Cornwall, where she unwittingly discovers the long-hidden truth surrounding her family.

Powerless to change the past, Jane must find the courage to confront Edward or walk away with grace and confidence, eyes forward and heart ready for whatever comes next.
