Description

‘A sumptuous, superbly immersive epic: witty, with gutsy, beautifully drawn characters’
– Adele Parks MBE

The powerful conclusion to Guy McCrone’s Wax Fruit Trilogy, bringing the sweeping saga of the Moorhouse family to a dramatic close.

The Moorhouses are now firmly established in Glasgow’s thriving West End. Their name carries weight across the city – but behind the polished facade, tensions simmer.

Restless and headstrong, Phoebe Moorhouse leaves the safety of home behind, journeying with her husband to the glittering heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Vienna. There, she finds a world of freedom, beauty,
and possibility – one that awakens her spirit but strains her marriage.

As Phoebe embraces the independence the city offers, Bel urges her to return home to Glasgow. Torn between two worlds, she must decide where her future truly lies – and what she’s willing to sacrifice to claim it.
