Immerse yourself in the captivating narrative of The Past, a remarkable novel by an acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author, celebrated for their unique ability to blend emotional depth with humor. Described as 'Poetic, tender and full of wry humour. A delight.' by the Sunday Mirror, this story promises to keep you drawn in from the very first page.
Set during a seemingly idyllic family holiday, The Past delves into the intricate web of familial relationships as four siblings converge in their grandparents' old house for a sultry, sunlit three-week reunion. Beneath the warm exterior, however, tensions bubble and dark secrets threaten to disrupt their fragile bonds:
As the days progress, the familiar tapestry of their lives begins to unravel, leading to revelations that will irrevocably alter their relationships. The Past has garnered critical acclaim, receiving praise for its 'Exquisite' prose in The Times and 'Wonderful' storytelling in The Guardian.
Engage with this enthralling tale of rivalry, desire, and untold truths that skillfully captures the essence of family dynamics. Discover the delicate interplay of love and conflict that will resonate long after you turn the last page of The Past.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
