My Review:
This is an emotive, heartwarming second chance romance and a delightful story to escape into.
After being orphaned, Amelia was brought up by her Great Aunt Vera in the village of Meadowbank. They had a huge fall out when she went to University, then went to live in Paris where she worked as an Interior designer. It is ten years later that Amelia returns after inheriting her childhood home. In the old farmhouse she discovers a beautiful locket with intriguing photographs. This sparks her search for information about Great Aunt as she is welcomed home by the local community and reconnects with her first love. Can she discover the secrets of Meadow Farmhouse?
This is a lovely story of discovering more about yourself and your family. It is one filled with drama, secrets and love where the initially perceived motivations of others prove untrue and love helps find a way to a HEA with true friends, a caring community and a second chance romance. It is a moving story, made even more so when you read the acknowledgements and discover the author’s inspiration behind writing this book and that this is the first book in a new series. I can’t wait to read the sequel! I have no hesitation in highly recommending this pleasurable, entertaining and intriguing book.
Thank you to HQ Digital and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read, thoroughly enjoyed and honestly reviewed.
