New Beginnings at the Little House in the Sun by Chris Penhall
New Beginnings at the Little House in the Sun
Follow your yellow brick road ….
Alice Dorothy Matthews is on the road to paradise! She’s sold her house in London, got rid of her nasty ex and arranged her move to Portugal where friendship and romance awaits. All that’s left to do is find a place to call home.
But Alice’s dreams are called into question when complications with friends, work and new relationships make her Portuguese paradise feel far too much like reality.
Will Alice’s dream of a new home in the sun come true ?
My Review:
This is the sequel to The House that Alice Built and continues Alice’s adventures as she endeavours to find a home in Portugal, reconnecting with the friends she made there, including the man she loves. She’s exploring the possibilities of work there, discovering that someone else seems to be buying up local properties – including the one she’s currently staying in.
There are surprise revelations, new opportunities, family dramas, arguments and even a car chase in this story which is set in a delightful small community. It is a heartwarming story filled with trials and tribulations as you just know nothing will go as smoothly as Alice has hoped. It is a relaxing read even though there are plenty of disagreements and worries revealed as the story progresses, just to keep you uncertain of the final outcome! There are also some herbal teas which I’ll definitely avoid trying!
Thank you for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.
