Description

Rosa's Island by Valerie Wood is set on a remote island off Yorkshire's wild East coast. As a child, Rosa was taken in by Mrs Drew, who revealed that the large farming family harboured troubled souls. Mr Drew's fervour concealed a dark secret, while Jim struggled with a past fear, Delia longed for escape, and Matthew sought only Rosa. Rosa's background held mystery: her mother had promised her father would return, a Spanish man with treasures, sailing on golden-hulled ships. But when he failed to appear, Mrs Drew knew the truth - and so did two Irishmen who returned after years, threatening everything Rosa cherished. Valerie Wood's novel explores the complexities of family life and the power of secrets to shape our lives.
