We're giving 100 Caboodlers the chance to read Clare Morrall's intriguing story of three outsiders, The Last of the Greenwoods, before it's out next year.

In a field outside Birmingham, the elderly Greenwood brothers live in two overgrown railway carriages. No one visits and they never speak to each other. Until one day Zohra Dasgupta, a young postwoman, delivers a shocking letter - from a woman claiming to be their sister, who was murdered in 1969.

Who could this impostor be? Or have the brothers been misled for decades? Now Nick and Johnny Greenwood are forced to revisit old traumas, which they thought they had successfully buried.

Zohra also has painful memories. Once an outgoing teenager headed for university, she still panics at the thought of meeting former classmates. The only friend she will see from her schooldays is laidback Crispin, who has roped her in to the restoration of an old railway line on his father's land. For which, as it happens, they need some carriages . . .

With wry humour and a cast of characters as delightful as they are damaged, Clare Morrall tells an engrossing story of past misdeeds and present reckoning, which shows that for all the wrong turnings we might take, sometimes it is possible to retrace our steps.
