But first he must find her—and she doesn’t want to be found.Orla Kendrick lives alone in the ruins of a remote Suffolk castle, hiding from the haunting past that has left her physically and emotionally scarred. In her fortress, she can keep a safe distance from prying eyes, surrounded by her broken treasures and insulated from the world outside.When Luke tracks Orla down, he is determined to help her in the way Helen wanted to: by encouraging her out of her isolation and back into the world. But Orla has never seen her refuge as a prison and, when painful secrets and dangerous threats begin to resurface, Luke’s good deed is turned on its head.As they work through their grief for Helen in very different ways, will these two broken souls be able to heal?

“Bestselling British author Connelly’s latest captivating book takes readers on an insightful exploration of grief, loss, forgiveness, and the ultimate healing power of love. With its exquisitely nuanced characters and quietly powerful plot, this superbly written love story will definitely please fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs, and readers who fondly remember and miss Rosamunde Pilcher.” —Booklist“The Beauty of Broken Things is such a lovely, sensitively written novel which I found genuinely uplifting.” —LJ Ross, #1 bestselling author“A wistful, hopeful treasure of a book. Like the photographs in the story, each scene is captured in all its beauty in this tale of two broken hearts, united by a shared grief and struggling to find a way to mend.” —Fiona Valpy, author of The Beekeeper’s Promise and The Dressmaker’s Gift“What a joy this book is—Victoria Connelly captures the very essence of an idyllic English village. Beautifully written with such a light touch, the characters as delicately flawed as the cracked and chipped china that Orla collects.” —Imogen Clark, author of Where The Story Starts and The Thing About Clare“The Beauty of Broken Things held me captive from the first page. Victoria’s lyrical, visual and effortless storytelling reached me on a sensory as well as an emotional level. I absolutely loved it.” —Carol Mason, bestselling author of After You Left“A charming twist on the classic beauty and the beast tale.” —Sheila Roberts, USA Today bestselling author“A very touching tale. Victoria Connelly has dealt with a sensitive subject absolutely beautifully.” —Rebecca Boxall, author of Christmas by the Lighthouse
