A Way Through the Woods
Beside the River Needle is a willow and beyond the willow, the Tunnel Woods, a meeting pace for generations of Needlewick girls.
The Tunnel Woods provide a haven of secret joy for Helen - a sensitive and lonely child who lives in a private world of imagination. But in the summer of 1909, when her cousin Sophia arrives from London, Helen experiences the new joy of friendship. Under the willow, where their mothers once played, she allows Helen into her secret world - with devestating results.

THE TIMES
"Katharine McMahon writes with charm and investers her characters with entertaining quirkiness."
MARIE CLAIRE
Years later, Sophia is engaged to be married. She has lost much in the intervening time, but not her ambition for a rich and secure future. When she hears news of a strange legacy, she must return to Needlewick to receive her bequest, and to seek out the people and hidden places of her girlhood - a time and place she would rather forget.
A Way Through the Woods is the tale of a quest. It is also the story of a family - their passions, and their ability to destroy and heal, waste and love.
To be re-released in UK in paperback on 1 October 2009
