Allignment

- Blurb -

Life. Death. Love. Letters. All Saints 1986. Three destinies converge at the mysterious standing stones of Carnac, France. For Isabeau Martin, the standing stones were the silent companions of her lonely childhood. Now, twenty years later, returning to Carnac to take up the position of Deputy Postmaster, Isabeau is once again drawn back to the stones. Feeling like an outsider, she yearns to put her past to rest and start afresh by finding her father, who disappeared when she was a child, leaving Isabeau alone with her mentally ill mother. On the eve of All Saints' Day, a parcel from New Zealand arrives at the post office. It contains the ashes of a dead man, and a plea for them to be scattered at the standing stones. Isabeau feels a connection to George Turner. She takes his ashes home and writes back to his son, Joseph. Scattering the ashes at the stones is another matter, however. Before she can do so, Isabeau must first confront her troubled childhood. But now she is not alone; a dead man and a stranger on the other side of the world are helping her create a future and learn to trust in love. Alignment is a novel about two people from opposite sides of the world, drawn together as they come to terms with the losses that define them. A poignant and heart-warming love story with appeal for readers of Jojo Moyes and Joanne Harris' French novels.
