When life becomes a mystery, it's never too late to uncover the truth... Discover the rich, complicated, dazzling life of Florence Butterfield, 2024's uniquely lovable and inspiring protagonist. 'A wonderfully warm and involving page-turner.' Clare Chambers, Sunday Times bestselling author of Small Pleasures ------- Florence Butterfield has lived an extraordinary life full of travel, passion and adventure. But, at eighty-seven, she suspects there are no more surprises to come her way. Then, one midsummer's night, something terrible happens - so strange and unexpected that Florrie is suspicious. Was this really an accident, or is she living alongside a would-be murderer? The only clue is a magenta envelope, discarded earlier that day. And Florrie - cheerfully independent but often overlooked - is the only person determined to uncover the truth. As she does, Florrie finds herself looking back on her own life . . . and a long-buried secret, traced in faded scars across her knuckles, becomes ever harder to ignore. Prize-winning author Susan Fletcher's The Night in Question is an absorbing and uplifting story with a uniquely loveable protagonist at its heart. ' Fletcher's prose is extraordinarily lyrical . . . and her themes are profound.' Sunday Times 'A gifted storyteller' Independent 'Fletcher unpeels with delicacy and insight the complex layers of the human heart.' Guardian
