'Enchanted places have the power to change us,to germinate that tiny seed of happiness, avarice or desire that we are so careful to conceal.' Lily Devereaux faces a dilemma. Should she rebuild her marriage to Tom or walk away from it? Tom also has to choose. His mother, Maud, has died, and his elder brother, Chris, wants to sell her cottage, The Boathouse, the scene of their magical childhood summers. His younger brother, Cameron, wants them to keep it. And Dora Savage, an old family friend, must decide whether the Devereauxs should finally know the truth about Maud's marriage to their father, Bertie, forged in the melting pot of the 1950s and 60s. Do love, forgiveness and compromise change over fifty years? The answers lie down at The Boathouse, where the waves and wildflowers ripple over the bones of a dangerous family secret.

In an age when we can buy the same bookcase in Sweden, Singapore, and San Francisco, adding individuality to our surroundings is increasingly important. It creates a sense of place, a feel of home. Upcycling sums up today’s approach to interiors. It means re-using or re-styling things in an innovative and contemporary way, transforming an older piece of furniture from junk to fabulous. The same idea can even be applied to mass-market modern furniture—through "hacking," you can give it a brand new use or an entirely different look. Both upcycling and hacking are about re-purposing, taking an inexpensive item and re-working it into something special and unique. It’s not just about making the most of your budget, although upcycling and hacks will save you money. It’s about having a home that reflects your style and individuality. Sometimes it’s just a question of looking at "that old thing" in a different way, such as hanging an empty picture frame on the wall, using a piece of outdoor furniture inside, adding different doors to chain-store fittings, or combining traditional and modern in quirky, individualistic ways.
