Author:Marcia Willett
An orphaned child and a tragic secret . . . the heartwarming and engrossing novel from this well-loved author. Perfect for fans of Erica James, Victoria Hislop and Santa Montefiore.
It was in the middle of a snowstorm when Tiggy arrived at the remote house on Bodmin Moor. She was alone, her partner tragically dead in an accident, and Julia, her dearest friend, welcomed her into her warm and chaotic family.
As winter turned to spring, and then to summer, Tiggy started to live again and await the birth of her child. But nearly thirty years later, when her son is about to become a father himself, the next generation discovers that there are secrets from the past which must be uncovered...

The first great Basque novel
—— Times Literary SupplementA briliantly inventive writer... terribly moving and wildly funny
—— A. S. ByattThis most delicate and personal of novels packs a powerful political message
—— IndependentIncredibly powerful... magnificently written
—— Financial TimesA magical novel that exlores friendship and memory, language and loss
—— MetroIn all his work, Atxaga delves into the impact of the political on individual lives. What is most moving in The Accordionist's Son is the push and counter-push of these pressures on a believable individual (and Margaret Jull Costa's elegant and unfussy translation gives us a clear view of him in English)
—— GuardianBernardo Atxaga's books are performing an important service to his people and his language
—— Times Literary SupplementCharming and compelling
—— Big IssueEach character is a world, a story marvellously integrated into the whole...A master storyteller has become a fabulous chronicler of reality. If Obabakoak charmed us, The Accordionist's Son charms and moves us
