Ferney - Hardcover

Tormented by her past, young Gally Martin seeks the sanctuary of Penselwood, a crumbling cottage deep in Somerset, England, and the growing and unexpectedly intimate friendship with Ferney, an eighty-three-year-old man.

e spellbinding time travel of Jack Finney's Time and Again and the sweeping passion of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, here is a haunting and enchanting novel that captures the magic of the ineffable sense that we have lived and loved before...

It was an accidental detour inspired by one of Gally's frequent panic attacks that sent her husband Mike down a twisting, lane to the abandoned cottage.  Yet from the moment she saw it, Gally felt a peace she hadn't known in years and the inexplicable sense that she had finally come home.

And so she had.

For as Mike worries and fusses over their new home's restoration, it is Gally who seems to know exactly how it should look. Indeed, Gally seems to flourish in the tiny village of Penselwood, deep in the Somerset countryside. But the greatest mystery of all is her growing and unexpectedly intimate relationship with an irascible eighty-three-year-old countryman named Ferney.
