This book is a nice
enjoyable read with a really heart-warming story. Not wanting to give too much
of the plot away, this story follows the lives of a famous Hollywood actress
Jodi Ludlam who has come back to her roots to live in the Dublin Village of
Bakers Valley in Ireland and raise her young son, Saul, and where she also has
to face some ghosts from her past, and also the life of one of the villagers
Francine Hennessy, who goes from being a work-a-holic to been a full-time mum
and how she copes with all the difficulties thrown at her along the way. However these two women cross paths &
form an unlikely friendship. Now picture
a beautiful cottage with country village surroundings. Beautiful, but she cannot escape her popularity
and is recognised by many of the Mums in the school playground when she
enrolls her son at the school. Of course, typical to human nature most of them
are gasping for breath and wanting to make a friend of her. There is also a valuable lesson in life there
also but I'll leave that to the reader to find that out.
Although Emma
Hannigan has had 6 bestselling novels in the last number of years, this was my
first time to read a book by this author.
I was quite intrigued by the beautiful cover & couldn't wait to get
started on it. The chapters flowed
really well, the characters were well developed & believable. It's not a straight forward story at all, I
think Emma Hannigan has weaved a brilliant piece of artwork and keeps
you slowly trailing along a path where clues are, but you just don't pick them
up. It was a really easy read and the
pages just kept on turning. I will
definitely read a few of her other novels now.
Thank you to
Headline Review via Margaret Madden for allowing me to read and review this
lovely book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book is available on kindle & in
all good bookstores.
