"From the author of WITCH CHILD and SORCERESS comes another engrossing, atmospheric novel - following a teenage boy's summer as he learns the secrets of the mysterious and provocative Wish House. It's the start of summer vacation, and fifteen-year-old Richard has discovered that a family has taken up residence in the usually deserted Wish House. Richard is intrigued by both the house and the bohemian family now living there. The father, Jethro Dalton, is an internationally renowned painter; his seemingly licentious wife is fascinated by herbs and cures. But it's their beautiful and vibrant daughter, Clio, the muse for Jethro's paintings, who draws Richard utterly into the Daltons' world. Soon Richard finds himself so captivated by Clio that he steals off to the woods to spend days and nights with her, meanwhile struggling to understand and fit in with her eccentric clan. How could he know that some mysteries are best left alone - and that some betrayals can never be forgiven?"

Enjoyable read, but didn't quite live up to my expectations.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I will take this to the meet. If no one takes it home I shall leave it on the shelves.

Chosen from the table at the Notts bookcrossers meet up.I hope my sons girlfriend will enjoy this one.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Tucked into one of my motorbike panniers to take to my sons girlfriend.

Found in a box after moving house. I took it to my sons girlfriend, now wife, and she must have given it me back at some point!
I will give this a go before releasing it on its travels.

This book is aimed at young adults but really has quite an older adult theme.It has many hidden messages and life’s lessons to remember and to reflect upon. Wonderful!

Taking to the Nottingham book crossing meet up. If not chosen from the table, will be on the OBCZ shelves.
