I can't remember much about it but it is something along the lines of a woman who goes away, maybe to a cottage near the sea after some trauma in her life. Whilst there she finds letters or a diary written by a female ancestor who was sent to an asylum unfairly by her male relatives, maybe get husband and father. Can anyone help, it's driving me mad haha!

Hi, is it The forgotten letters of Esther Durand by Kate Nunn?

lancashirebornandbred · 25/11/2020 18:49

Sorry, spell check. Last name Durrant.

The key by Kathryn Hughes?

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 29/11/2020 22:30

I think it is The Sea House by Esther Freud.

ShipshapeShore · 29/11/2020 22:33

I'm almost certain it's The Lost Child by Emily Gunnis.

It sounds rather like A Little Love Song by Michelle Magorian.

CarpeVitam · 04/12/2020 23:59

Ditto The Secret Scripture?

Another vote for The Lost Child.
Read this a couple of months ago - plot is a perfect match.
