The Cottage in the Clouds - Paperback

by Caroline Young (Author)

When Elin Pugh's life in London crumbles, she returns to the Welsh mountains of her childhood to care for Anwen Jones, the enigmatic artist who once filled her young heart with dreams of creativity and freedom.

Anwen has spent years driving away visitors from her ramshackle hillside cottage, but as Elin settles back into the peaceful pace of life in the mountains she has always loved, she finds that beneath Anwen's sharp exterior is a woman with an extraordinary story to tell. As it unfolds, she discovers it holds the key to secrets Elin's mother has kept hidden for thirty years - secrets bound up in her father's love for these hills, and in Anwen herself.

As the two women work together to catalogue a lifetime of art, Elin begins to understand that her journey home was never just about escape. It was about recovering the passionate, creative young woman she really is, unearthing the truth about the past, and discovering that she is exactly where she belongs.

A sweeping story of love, loss and the wonder of the natural world, The Cottage in the Clouds explores how creativity and unexpected bonds can heal us, and how it's never too late to find our way back to ourselves.
