Memory Cougan, black and in her twenties, has a successful career and an adoring fiancé. But at her engagement party, she panics.

Brought to London aged five, she has no recollection of Africa, or why she left. Leaving Adam behind, she returns to a place she no longer recognises - and to Max, the coffee planter who may have the answers.

But Memory's journey of discovery is not hers alone to make. For Max, hardened by years in the bush, her arrival will reawaken memories of the most intense time in his life and of his beloved aeroplane, Hotel Juliet. For Elise, her adoptive mother, Memory's flight threatens to reveal the truth of what really happened in Africa all those years ago.

Check out an extract from Hotel Juliet taken from newbooks issue 46.
