*************************************************************************

Everyone likes a holiday romance - but not if your husband's having it!

For the last few years, Beth and Ned have gone to the same Caribbean island to the same luxury spa hotel. There they meet the same crowd, and take up where they left off last time. Real life, home life, family life, are all safely left behind.

Except this year.

This year, home problems have somehow tagged along for the ride. Ned has been playing away - a bit of a drunken fling, that's all, nothing to worry about, Beth thinks. But although they have put it all behind them, what Beth doesn't know is that Ned's fling was with the female half of one of the couples they are holidaying with.

To make matters worse, Beth has insisted on bringing along their sixteen-year-old daughter Delilah, who's been ill and needs rest and sunshine. Not so ill, however, that she can't look around for some entertainment...

'As sweet and intoxicating as a glass of rum punch'

—— ET Life

'A warm, funny story of love, life and infidelity... great beachtime reading'

—— Woman

One of the leading comic writers of his generation

—— Guardian

Davies combines elements of the fantastic with details of everyday life to show us a world in which the miraculous coexists with the mundane

—— New York Times

There's a real Turn of the Screw feel to this absorbing ghost tale, a genuine Gothic spinechiller and beautifully told

—— Fiona Noble , The Bookseller

Chilling, creepy and utterly compelling . . . Fine creates a wonderful sense of place and the devilish captain Severin will haunt your psyche

—— Vanessa Lewis , The Bookseller

A journey of true grit and determination for one so young in years. The story alone is superb; add in Enaiatollah's engaging prose and this books sings on the page. Highly recommended

—— Bookbag

A dissection of the emotional fissures that tear families apart

—— Mail on Sunday

The novel...is thoughtful and beautifully written, examining lost lives, chances and choices

—— Daily Mail

A sort of historical treatise follows, one that is devoid of the kind of colourful details which abound in stereotypical lottery daydreams, but which nevertheless endears the reader to Andy and his cause, and sets up an enticing conclusion'
