About the stories

The Secret
Mary has been carrying a hidden truth for forty years — a choice that altered her life and the future of someone she loves. Beth is desperate for answers about her parentage, a revelation that could become the lifeline her sick child needs. The Secret is an emotionally powerful tale about forgiveness, the consequences of past decisions, and how love can both wound and heal.

The Letter
Tina Craig wants to escape a violent marriage and rebuild her life. Working long hours and volunteering in a charity shop to save money, she stumbles upon an unopened, unfranked letter tucked inside a second-hand suit. That single discovery sets off a chain of events that illuminate hidden pasts and unexpected connections. The Letter established Kathryn Hughes as a compassionate voice in contemporary fiction.

The Key
Set in 1956, The Key follows Ellen Crosby on her first day as a student nurse at Ambergate Hospital. When she meets a young woman admitted by her father, Ellen faces a choice that will change both of their lives forever. This novel blends historical detail with emotional depth, ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven historical contemporary crossovers.
