Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Pumpkin at Number NineEvery October, a pumpkin appears on the doorstep of Number Nine.Nobody seems to know who leaves it.When Rose moves into the old cottage on Orchard Lane, she expects creaking floorboards, draughty windows and the usual mysteries that come with an old house.She doesn't expect the pumpkin.Then she finds an old photograph hidden inside the cottage.A mother.A little boy.A pumpkin.October, 1958.Rose begins searching for the story behind the photograph and discovers that Number Nine has been keeping its secrets for far longer than she imagined.But some traditions are not meant to be explained.Some promises survive the people who made them.And in these quiet villages, where autumn seems to linger a little longer and the boundary between memory and something stranger grows thin, Rose begins to wonder whether the people we lose ever truly stop finding their way home.As her search awakens memories of her own mother, Rose must confront a question she has spent years avoiding: Can we continue living without leaving the people we love behind?The Pumpkin at Number Nine is a hauntingly cosy autumn tale of grief, memory, old promises and the strange things that can happen when October draws near.Perfect for readers who love atmospheric cottages, village secrets, autumn folklore, gentle supernatural mystery and stories that are both comforting and just a little unsettling.At Number Nine, one pumpkin has appeared every October for decades.This year, there are two.
