This book is set in 2014 as well as looking back to 1950s Tenby, Wales. It is more of a light holiday read but with plenty of story and detailed characters. It did draw me in and very quickly and I too wanted to move to Tenby and reinvent my life. The descriptions of the area and characters were very well done leaving you wanting to know more.

Loved the book.

I was recently in Wales on holiday, so when I saw this book was set in Wales I wanted to read it. I guessed the ending, but really enjoyed the two plots unravelling, the connections between the stories, and the development of the relationships.

A slow starter which took me a while to get into but once I’d got half way through the story I couldn’t put it down.  
The story drew me in and I really liked the characters and wanted them to have happy endings.  It was warm and beautifully written,
