I found this by chance when scrolling through Scribd, and I‘m so glad I did.

It follows the lives of 4 generations of one family, who run a hotel on the island. Do mistakes really reverberate down through the generations or can we live our own lives away from family myth and lore?

It‘s fab on audio - @Cinfhen I think you‘d like this one.

I cracked this open yesterday while wtg for acupuncture and wasn‘t able to put it down for very long. An incredibly moving story following several generations of a family haunted by secrets. Each perspective was so unique and they all blended well together.
