The Postcard by Fern Britton

Escape to Cornwall this summer with Fern Britton…

To celebrate paperback publication of The Postcard, we’re offering five reading groups the chance to read and review Fern Britton’s witty and warm new novel. A list of questions is included in your pack to get you started and we would love you to share your thoughts with us on social media by tagging @HarperFiction.

About the book

Life in the Cornish village of Pendruggan isn’t always picture perfect. For years Penny Leighton has kept her family secrets locked away in her heart, but now a postcard, tucked away in a long-hidden case, holds the devastating truth.

Young Ella arrives in the village like a breath of fresh air. Yet she’s searching for something that’s missing in her life. Memories of a happy childhood spent with her grandmother linger around every corner and in every cove. And being taken under Penny’s broken wing, the village feels like a haven.

Little do both women know, this is the summer that will change everything…
