Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Can happiness be made in Devon?

After the sudden death of her estranged husband, Clare is shocked to discover she has inherited a dog and a small fortune. Convinced by her adult children to finally do something for herself, Clare embarks on a coast-to-coast adventure - until she stumbles upon an unmarked location on the fringes of South Devon. 

When Clare finds herself driving down a narrow road to the tiny village of Little Sorrell, she is met with distant, cold and rude locals. But as she falls in love with a cottage she wishes to call home, can Little Sorrell truly be the place of second chances?

Loved this book

Excellently written and narrated. Not the normal romance sage, refreshingly different. I am hoping there will be more from Sheila Norton and Karen Cass. Recommended read. Thank you

So much potential ... and then it falls to pieces

There was a really good setup to this story. You are transported to an intriguing west country village. There's a 57 year old woman, trying to find new beginnings in life, and a whole village full of people hiding painful stories of their past. And then, at some point in the book, the whole thing breaks down into mush. What looks like a really sweet and promising relationship developed by a 9 year old and the 57 year old, breaks down into mind-melting child-talk and pointless, ridiculous tripe. What a disappointment for a book where there was so much potential for nuance, plot and intrigue. I'm not saying leave out the story with the child, quite the opposite, I believe this provides a really interesting twist to the story. However, when everything disolves into childrens' parties and stupid baby conversations which never seem to end, then you know that you've been dealt a lemon. You feel like telling the author to snap out of it and get your head together.
