Meet Cathy Kelly, Author of THE ISLAND RETREAT
Five years after Rose’s career as a therapist ended in one catastrophic instant, she is opening a retreat in Corfu.
Just six guests. One week. Time for Rose to help them face their secrets – and move forwards.
But Rose has staked everything on the retreat. It has to work – or she loses it all. And people’s secrets have a way of revealing themselves in ways no one expected.
Will that include Rose’s, too?
Cathy Kelly is a bestselling Irish author known for her stories about real women's lives. She has written twenty-two novels, selling millions of copies globally.
Cathy will be in conversation with author Vanessa McCausland, who has written works such as The Last Illusion of Paige White, and The Beautiful Words.
