Welcome to Litsy!

Amelia has a dream: toasting chestnuts by the fire with her husband Jack in their own cosy cottage. Their real life is another world--a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Hackney. But when life takes a surprising turn, removal vans are soon heading to the Kent countryside. They soon realize the cottage makeover is a far bigger project than they'd anticipated. On top of that, there's Amelia's newly loved-up mother and her half-sister, Mirabel, to contend with--pushing Amelia and Jack's marriage to breaking point. Amelia begins to strip back the wallpaper and fittings in the cottage and discovers the story of the cottage's previous owner--and a hidden secret. As Amelia's ideas about love and family change, will her fireside dream finally come true?
