Cosy, easy reading, small village
I devoured this book in 24 hours, sucked into this small picturesque village in the UK. Autumn was afoot and rivalry between two bed and breakfast establishments brewed.
Pippa was the arrival to the village, renovating a quirky property ready for visitors. Jenny, an established host across the river was unimpressed and something of a saboteur. There was a light romance that added into the mix.
There were two back stories that really caught my interest. One was the dementia storyline that resonated very much with my family experience of this and I appreciated the realness this brought to the story. The other back story was Pippa's parentage which had me intrigued.
This was a cosy autumn read that was just perfect for the start of this season. Thank you to Allison & Busby for the review copy.
