Thirtynothing, Kiss & Tell, Whispers In The Sand

Threads of Fate

In this enchanting Reader’s Digest anthology, three timeless tales—Thirtynothing by Lisa Jewell, Kiss & Tell by Donna Hay, and Whispers in the Sand by Barbara Erskine—interweave to explore the delicate tapestry of love, loss, and rediscovery. Each story transports you to a world where chance encounters spark life-altering journeys. From the winding streets of London in Thirtynothing, where a chance reunion at thirty brings old friends to confront unspoken regrets, to the sun-lavished vineyards of Provence in Kiss & Tell, where a single stolen kiss unearths buried family secrets, every page pulses with emotion. And in Whispers in the Sand, the windswept dunes of coastal Cornwall echo with ancestral voices, guiding a determined historian into the shadowy past of a lost love.

Journeys of the Heart

Lisa Jewell’s Thirtynothing follows three women whose thirtieth birthdays converge in an unexpected celebration of friendship—and the realisation that it’s never too late to rewrite your narrative. Donna Hay’s Kiss & Tell captures the warmth and turmoil of summer romance, where beach-side confessions and midnight drives under the stars reveal the true taste of home. Barbara Erskine’s Whispers in the Sand blends historical mystery with contemporary yearning, as uncovering an ancient diary leads her protagonist to face the echoes of a forbidden affair that transcends time itself. Each author brings her singular voice—Jewell’s razor-sharp wit, Hay’s culinary romance flair, and Erskine’s spectral lyricism—into harmonious resonance.

Echoes That Endure
