Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of A Month of Sundays, with new novel At the End of the Day out now.
"A heart-warming tale about forgiveness, hope and second chances" Adelaide Advertiser
Ruby and Cat's friendship was forged on an English dockside over sixty years ago when, both fearful, they boarded a ship bound for Australia. It was a friendship that was supposed to last a lifetime but when news of Cat's death reaches Ruby back in London, it comes after a painful estrangement.
Declan has also drifted away from Cat, but he is forced back to his aunt's lavender farm, Benson's Reach, when he learns that he and Ruby are co-beneficiaries.
As these two very different people come together in Margaret River they must learn to trust each other and to deal with the staff and guests. Can the legacy of Benson's Reach triumph over the hurt of the past? Or is Cat's duty-laden legacy simply too much for Ruby and Declan to keep alive?

Customer Reviews
in the Company of Strangers
I have just finished this book and found it mostly believable, the characters were believable too. I also loved the fact that no one was beautiful, Declan didn't have a six pack and the women weren't ravishing. No one was jumping in and out of bed, in fact they were all dealing with real problems and raw emotions. The writer dealt with the emotional sides beautifully.
Thoroughly enjoyable
Another great story from Liz Byrski
In the company of strangers
As with all her books,, Byrski has great insights into personalities and interactions of friends, and she conveys that well. She’s mid 70’s and her characters are much about women of that age and their view on various aspects of life. Beautifully written. Captivating.
