Synopsis

A passionate novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew - a gorgeous read full of hope, warmth and heartfelt emotion. ​

Laurie and Pete should never have met.
But fate has pushed them together for a reason.
 
Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners.
Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group – and meet each other.
 
From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing and they sense a fresh new beginning. 
Except, the more they talk, the more they begin to spot the strange parallels in their stories.
Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything.
 
But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.
 
My One True North is a story of friendship and what love means, of secrets uncovered, teashops on corners and the northern lights.

Good story, a bit predictable, and so much longer than needed. The ending was a bit disappointing. 3.5 Stars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you know the saying love is blind.

As a massive fan of Milly Johnson, I can't quite put into words how happy I was to see her recurring newspaper the Daily Trumpet had made a re-appearance. I knew no matter what else was between the covers, that there would be hilarity! And the small Daily Trumpet snippets almost every time had my sn......more
