In a quiet corner of England, one night will unlock a lifetime of secrets... Discover the rich, complicated, dazzling life of Florence Butterfield, a uniquely lovable and inspiring protagonist.

Florence Butterfield has a secret.

She's kept it for 70 years. She's travelled the world, fallen in love, and grown and changed in ways she never could have imagined. But she's never told a soul.

Until one midsummer's night, something happens. Something so terrible and unexpected that it changes everything for Florrie. And perhaps, at last, her long-buried secret will finally see the light of day . . .

Reviews for The Night in Question

Our octogenarian heroine’s determination to investigate a violent crime on her doorstep, leads her to reflect on her colourful past of love and loss, in this wonderfully warm and involving page-turner * Clare Chambers, Sunday Times bestselling author of Small Pleasures * A wonderful, life-affirming novel, full of surprises, tender of heart, and infused with a spirit as warm and generous as any I have read. It's a gripping literary whodunnit and so much more . . . I adored it. * Emma Stonex, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamplighters * Full of unforgettable characters, a beguiling mystery with gorgeous prose, The Night in Question completely captured my heart. Florence Butterfield is a woman I will never forget and her story is one that had me in all kinds of tears. A triumph. * Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things * It's brilliant * Daily Mail * Totally original, this water-colour pretty novel is as surprising as it is inspirational. I loved it! * Katie Fforde *
