Ripeness (Signed Edition)

Moving from 60s Italy to contemporary Ireland, Ripeness is a breathtaking story of love and the search for belonging from Sarah Moss, bestselling author of Summerwater. On the brink of adulthood and just out of school, Edith finds herself travelling to rural Italy. She has been sent by her mother with strict instructions: to see her sister, ballet dancer Lydia, through the final weeks of her pregnancy, help at the birth and then make a phone call which will change all of their lives. Decades later, happily divorced and newly energized, Edith is living in contentment and comfort in Ireland. When her best friend Meabh receives a call from an American man claiming to be her brother, Meabh must decide if she will meet him, and Edith finds herself plunged back into her own past and the story of the baby she once knew and loved.
