Description
'A novel that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn't let go until the last.' LUCY DIAMOND
'The very definition of escape.' VERONICA HENRY
Every family’s story starts somewhere.
Alice and Tom’s begins here.
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Alice Jansen collects her treasures – the keepsakes, figurines and mementoes that help her make sense of her fragile family. But the next day her heart is broken, and the final treasure, a gift from her father, is lost. Two years later, Alice answers a phone call from a stranger and runs away to New York, and tries to forget her last golden summer at the orchard on the banks of the Hudson.
Tom Raven can’t understand why he keeps losing so many of the things and people that really matter to him, but he knows for certain that something important is missing from his life. One day, he remembers a forgotten letter and makes a phone call, then leaves Sevenstones, the only place that feels like home, for a strange city…
Harriet Evans’s gorgeous new novel is the unputdownable story of Alice, Tom, and Sevenstones. Of a family and a house over fifty years and three generations, of their beginning and their ending, and of finding the treasures that symbolise the most important memories in our lives.

This is the first in a series of three family chronicles by Harriet Evan’s and I can’t wait to read the next ones.
The story is in several parts but is all have a link to n English house which we learn at the beginning is now up for sale after being in the same family since the Second World War.
The first part of the story is about a teenager, Alice, who lives in a small town near New York. We wonder how she could be connected to the English house, but things start to become clearer at the end of the book.
In the second part of the book we meet a young boy who has spent his early years in a remote Scottish hamlet but is taken by his aunt to live in post war London. There are some well written scenes and the author conveys the era extremely well. Bomb sites, teddy boys and the windrush immigrants all feature.
The third part of the story moves to New York in The 1960s hippy era and again, the writing is very good and the reader feels like they are there.
I devoured this book and am looking forward to the next one. I was disappointed when it ended and I have to wait to find out more,
Thank you to the publisher and net galley for this advance copy.

As ever an utterly engrossing story of the families that birth us and those we make ourselves. I was riveted and delighted to once again be immersed in one of Evans' stories.

The Treasures by Harriet Evans
The first in a trilogy and it's got all the hallmarks of becoming an epic read.
I love how the author is so great at drawing you into quite complex family tales.
We firstly meet Alice on the cusp of womanhood and lives near New York , and her connection to a house located in England.
We then skip to a remote part of Scotland and then just after ww2 he is taken to London to live with an aunt .
The title takes us to the 1960s and wear are in the era of change for young people with the swinging 60s and all that it entails.
Very entertaining book. 5 stars.
Jacqueline P, Reviewer
New York, London, Wiltshire, Dumfries and Galloway are all portrayed in this unusual family saga. Romance, happiness and sadness from the era of the Second World War to the 1960’s are depicted and the emotions involved will leave readers inevitably wanting more. Gloriously inventive story telling.
