Silence tore them apart. Can the truth bring them back together?"Marvellous" -Lesley Pearse"A hauntingly beautiful novel" -Imogen Clark"Gripping, heart rending and extremely satisfying" -Katie FfordeIn 1960s Glasgow, anti-nuclear activists Judith and Jimmy fall in love. But their future hopes are dashed when their protestors squat is raided and many, including Jimmy, are sent to prison. Pregnant and with no word from Jimmy, Judith is forced to enter an unmarried mothers home, give up their baby and learn to live with her grief. More than half a century later, Judiths Mending Shop restores broken treasures, just as Judith herself has been bound back together by her late, much-missed partner, Catherine. But her tranquillity is shattered when Jimmy-so different and yet somehow the same-reappears, yearning to unpick the painful past. Realising they each know only half of the others story, Jimmy and Judith finally break the silence that tore apart what might have been their family. Amid heartbreak and hope, how much can now be mended?
